Question:
Assertion :DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in DNA sequence called as repetitive DNA.
Reason : Because in these sequences, a small stretch of DNA is repeated many times.
Options:
A and R both are true but R is not the correct explanation of the A .
A and R both are false .
A and R both are true and R is the correct explanation of the A .
A is false but R is true .
Correct Answer:
A and R both are true and R is the correct explanation of the A .
Explanation:
DNA fingerprinting involves identifying differences in some specific regions in DNA sequence called as repetitive DNA, because in these sequences, a small stretch of DNA is repeated many times. These repetitive DNA are separated from bulk genomic DNA as different peaks during density gradient centrifugation.
