What is it about short tandem repeat DNA that makes it useful for DNA fingerprinting?

#11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. The number of repeats varies widely from person to person or animal to animal.

  2. The sequence of DNA that is repeated varies significantly from individual to individual.

  3. The sequence variation is acted upon differently by natural selection in different environments.

  4. Every racial and ethnic group has inherited different short tandem repeats.
