Minisatellites or VNTR’s are used in

  • Correct answer
    A
    DNA fingerprinting
  • B
    Polymerase Chain Reaction, (PCR)
  • C
    gene therapy
  • D
    gene mapping

Solution

Minisatellites or Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR) are used in DNA fingerprinting technique. In VNTR, satellite DNA acts as a probe, that shows very high degree of polymorphism.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
