(Multiple Choice)

Gene A exists in five forms in the human population. Each form, or allele, has a different number of tandem repeats. The alleles are amplified with PCR and then run on a polyacrylamide gel for analysis, yielding the following banding pattern. Gene A exists in five forms in the human population.
