Do you still need help?!?
Transposable elements and short tandem repeats are different because short tandem repeats make up only a small percentage of a given genome while transposable elements often make up larger parts of a genome. So the correct option is C.
<h3>
What are transposable elements? </h3>
Transposable elements or transposons are a class of genetic elements. They can “jump” from one location to another, in a genome.
Even though they are called “jumping genes,” they have an integrated site in a genome and are maintained there. Also, most of them are eventually inactivated and can not move any longer.
Whereas Short tandem repeats or STRs are short repeats of DNA. They are also known as microsatellites or simple sequence repeats. They have a repetitive unit of 1-6 bp and form a series of 100 nucleotide lengths.
Therefore the correct option C.

Answer:
Option D, a test for the presence of cells that contain DNA
Explanation:
As we know all living organisms are made up of cells and DNA is the basic genetic material that codes for protein and traits with an organism. If even a single cell with DNA is detected on the extraterrestrial planet then it will be clear that it has life on it or the environmental conditions are favorable to support life. Cells are microscopic and hence can be seen through microscope which can be installed easily on a probe.
Hence, option D is correct
Answer:
The correct answer is option - a virus.
Explanation:
Viruses are the infectious agents that are neither considered living nor nonliving organisms. The viruses possess the genetic material enclosed in the capsid made up of the proteins.
Genetic material or the genome of the viruses could be the DNA or the RNA as single or double-stranded forms. The viruses with RNA as genetic material termed as the adenoviruses such as tobacco mosaic viruses and HIV and others.
Thus, the correct answer is option - a virus.
