Biology student: Microsatellites are repeated patterns of two, three, or four nucleotides within a DNA sequence that are unique to a particular lineage. Therefore, after breeding one hundred generations of fruit flies, we will be able to trace any particular fruit fly to its ancestor using the presence of certain microsatellites within its DNA.

【选项】
The microsatellites do not produce any harmful outcomes, and therefore cannot be eliminated from the genome via natural selection.
