Molecular Basis Of Inheritance Question 150
Question: DNA fingerprinting using Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) is based on the observation that:
Options:
A) Every individual has unique alleles at each VNTR locus.
B) The DNA of VNTR loci is more stable than that of loci which code for proteins.
C) VNTR sequences show little variability.
D) VNTR loci are highly polymorphic.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
[d] The technique of DNA fingerprinting was initially developed by Alee Jeffrey’s.
He used a satellite DNA as probe that shows high degree of polymorphisms.
DNA fingerprinting using variable number tandem repeats is based on the observation that VNTR loci are highly polymorphic.
