The D1S80 locus is located on human chromosome 1 and is characterized by a repeating 16 base pair (bp) sequence. Alleles for this locus vary depending on the number of repeats present, thus affecting the size of the locus. The D1S80 locus also contains two conserved sequences, a 32bp sequence at one end and a 113bp sequence at the other end. If the DNA of an individual is targeted for D1S80 amplification, and one of the resulting amplicons is approximately 785bp in size, how many repeats would be present in this D1S80 allele? The amplicon of interest is indicated by a red arrow in the diagram below.
