All the following statements about microsatellite DNA are true except:
A)It consists of a repeat length of 1-13 base pairs.
B)It can cause neurological diseases such as myotonic dystrophy.
C)It can occur within transcription units.
D)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microsatellite DNA, also known as short tandem repeats (STRs), indeed consists of a repeat length of 1-13 base pairs (A is true), can cause neurological diseases such as myotonic dystrophy when these repeats expand (B is true), and can occur within transcription units, affecting gene expression (C is true). Therefore, the statement that all of the above are exceptions is incorrect, making D the correct choice.
