Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction :-

Microsatellites are short, repetitive sequences of DNA, typically consisting of 1-6 base pairs repeated several times. They are considered a type of repetitive DNA. Microsatellites can be found throughout the genome, and their repetitive nature allows them to be used as genetic markers for various applications, such as population genetics and forensic analysis.
