Mini-satellites are short sequences of 10- 12 base pairs.
They are repeated throughout the chromosome in all individuals.
Individuals vary in size, number and location of these Mini-satellites.
There is a high rate of genetic exchange that takes place at the Mini-satellite sequences.
The rate is approximately 10
-4
kb of DNA, i.e. even greater than meiotic recombination.
