Principle of Inheritance and VariationHard
Question
The basis for DNA fingerprinting is
Options
A.occurrence of Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP)
B.phenotypic differences between individuals
C.availability of cloned DNA
D.knowledge of human karyotype
Solution
DNA fingerprinting was developed by a british geneticist Prof. Alec jeffreys in 1984.
The chromosomes of every human cell contain scattered throygh their DNA, short, highly repeated 15 nucleotide segments called ′mini-satellites′ or variable number tendem repeats.
The basis of DNA fingerprinting is the occurrence of restriction fragment length polymorphism which are distributed throuhout human genome.
