  4. DA, E, B, C, D

Correct answer

C. A, E, C, B, D

Step-by-step solution

The technique of DNA fingerprinting involves the following steps in sequence: 1. Isolation of DNA and its digestion by restriction endonucleases (A). 2. Separation of the digested DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis (E). 3. Transferring (blotting) of the separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes, such as nitrocellulose or nylon (C). 4. Hybridisation using a radiolabelled VNTR probe (B). 5. Detection of the hybridised DNA fragments by autoradiography (D). The correct sequence is A, E, C, B, D. Answer: A, E, C,
