DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in DNA sequence, called as:

Options

  1. ASatellite DNA
  2. BRepetitive DNA
  3. CSingle nucleotides
  4. DPolymorphic DNA

Correct answer

B. Repetitive DNA

Step-by-step solution

DNA fingerprinting is a very quick way to compare the DNA sequences of any two individuals. DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in a DNA sequence called repetitive DNA because, in these sequences, a small stretch of DNA is repeated many times.
