DNA fingerprinting refer to:

Options

  1. Amolecular analysis of profiles of DNA samples
  2. Banalysis of DNA samples using imprinting devices
  3. Ctechniques used for molecular analysis of different specimens of DNA
  4. Dtechniques used for identification of fingerprints of individuals.

Correct answer

A. molecular analysis of profiles of DNA samples

Step-by-step solution

DNA fingerprinting involves determining the genetic makeup of a person. Determining and analysing the repeated sequences (as in STR), form the basis of DNA fingerprinting. Related Theory Sir Alec Jeffreys is the father of DNA fingerprinting. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) represents the blueprint of the human genetic makeup. A DNA fingerprint, therefore, is a DNA pattern that has a unique sequence such that it can be distinguished from the DNA patterns of other individuals. DNA fingerprinting is also called DNA typing
