DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in DNA sequence, called as (1) Satellite DNA (2) Repetitive DNA (3) Single nucleotides (4) Polymorphic DNA

Correct option:(2)Repetitive DNA
Solution:

  • DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in DNA sequence called as repetitive DNA.
  • Basis of DNA fingerprinting is VNTR (a satellite DNA as probe that show very high of polymorphism).
  • Polymorphism is the variation at genetic level.
  • Allelic sequence variation has traditionally been described as a DNA polymorphism.
