MCQ
Q1. Assertion–Reason: A: DNA fingerprinting is based on VNTRs; R: VNTRs are repetitive DNA sequences that are identical in every human.
  • A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C. A is true, R is false
  • D. A is false, R is true
βœ… Correct Answer: C
VNTRs vary in number between individuals, making them ideal for identification.
MCQ
Which labeled probe is used to hybridize with VNTRs?
  • A Radioactive RNA
  • B Fluorescent protein
  • C Radioactive DNA
  • D Bioluminescent enzyme
βœ… Correct Answer: C
The probe is complementary to VNTR sequences.
