Question
Biology Question on Molecular Basis of Inheritance
DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in DNA sequence, called as
A
Polymorphic DNA
B
Satellite DNA
C
Repetitive DNA
D
Single nucleotides
Answer
Repetitive DNA
Explanation
Solution
In DNA fingerprinting, specific regions of repetitive DNA sequences, known as minisatellites or microsatellites, are used to identify differences in DNA sequences. These regions are indeed referred to as repetitive DNA.
So, the correct option is (C): Repetitive DNA
