Step-by-step solution
Refer: NCERT | Class 12 | Page: 106 | Paragraph: 2 The fundamental steps of DNA fingerprinting are carried out in the following sequence: 1. Isolation of DNA. 2. Digestion of DNA by restriction endonucleases (A). 3. Separation of DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis (B). 4. Transferring (blotting) of separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes, such as nitrocellulose or nylon (D). 5. Hybridisation using a radiolabelled VNTR probe (C). 6. Detection of hybridised DNA fragments by autoradiography (E). Thus, the cor
