DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in DNA sequence, called as:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in specific region in the DNA known as Repetitive DNA because in these sequences, a small stretch of DNA is repeated many times.
The bulk DNA which leads to the formation of major and small peaks is called Satellite DNA. These sequences normally do not code for any proteins. These sequences show high degree of polymorphism and form the basis of DNA fingerprinting.
