Which term is used for variable number tandem repeats in DNA fingerprinting?
Sample Questions
Which size range matches microsatellites in VNTR family classification?
Show answer
Repeated sequences of 1 to 9 bp
Microsatellites are VNTRs with repeated sequences of 1 to 9 base pairs.
Which size range matches minisatellites in VNTR family classification?
Show answer
Repeated sequences of 10 to 100 bp
Minisatellites are VNTRs with repeated sequences of 10 to 100 base pairs.
What technique is used to increase the sensitivity of DNA fingerprinting by amplifying DNA?
Show answer
PCR
PCR is used to amplify DNA, which increases the sensitivity of DNA fingerprinting even when the sample amount is small.
Which technique is used to detect VNTR bands in DNA fingerprinting?
Show answer
Southern hybridisation using VNTR probes
Direct identification of bands is difficult, so Southern hybridisation using VNTR probes is used to detect DNA fragments.
