Options

  1. Astudy of enzymes
  2. Bgenetic transformation
  3. CDNA sequencing
  4. Dgenetic fingerprinting

Correct answer

D. genetic fingerprinting

Step-by-step solution

The hypervariable regions of DNA have Variable Number of Tandem repeats (VNTRs) of short nucleotide sequences which are specific for each individual (except for monozygotic twins). Variations also occur due to mutations, small deletions or insertions. Therefore, DNA cut by a particular endonuclease will have different lengths in different persons. This phenomenon is called Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism. It is the basis of genetic (or DNA) fingerprinting and is useful in identifying individuals from their
