Question

DNA fingerprinting refers to ______.

Options

• Analysis of profiles of DNA samples

• Analysis of DNA sample using imprinting device

• Technique used for molecular analysis of different specimens of DNA

• Technique used for identification of fingerprints of individuals.

Answer 1

DNA fingerprinting refers to analysis of profiles of DNA samples.

Explanation:

DNA fingerprinting is the molecular examination of the profile of DNA samples. Short nucleotide repeats, which vary in number from person to person but are inherited, are significant for DNA fingerprinting. Variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) are a type of repeat that can only be identified through molecular analysis of DNA samples.
