Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Pattern of DNA fragments obtained by examining a person’s unique sequence of DNA base pairs is?

A	PCR
B	Chromosome
C	Electrophoresis
D	DNA Fingerprinting

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA fingerprinting is a technique that simultaneously detects lots of minisatellites in the genome to produce a pattern unique to an individual. This is a DNA fingerprint. The probability of having two people with the same DNA fingerprint that are not identical twins is very small.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA fingerprinting is a laboratory technique used to determine the probable identity of a person based on the nucleotide sequences of certain regions of human DNA that are unique to individuals.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA fingerprinting is a technique used in biotechnology laboratories to establish links between various samples of DNA. These samples would likely be taken from several different sources and compared to see if – or how well – they match.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vocabulary. DNA Fingerprint: A unique DNA pattern that distinguishes between individuals of the same species using only samples of their DNA; also known as a genetic fingerprint.
