Question

DNA finger-printing refers to

Options

A.molecular analysis or profiles of DNA samples
B.analysis of DNA samples using imprinting device
C.techniques used for molecular analysis of different specimens of DNA
D.techniques used for identification of finger prints of individuals

Solution

Important for DNA fingerprinting are short nucleotide repeats that vary in number from person to person but are inherited. These are Variable Number Tandem Repeats or VNTRs and these can be recognized only through molecular analysis of DNA samples. Alec Geffreys (1985, 86) discovered this technique for thr first time.
