Q. DNA fingerprinting using Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) is based on the observation that

Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

The technique of DNA fingerprinting was initially developed by Alec Jeffrey's. He used a satellite DNA as probe that shows high degree of polymorphisms. DNA fingerprinting using variable number tandem repeats is based on the observation that VNTR loci are highly polymorphic.
