The size of VNTR varies from: |
0.1 to 20 kb 0.2 to 10 bp 0.1 to 10 kb 0.2 to 20 kb |
0.1 to 20 kb |
The correct answer is Option (1) – 0.1 to 20 kb The VNTR belongs to a class of satellite DNA referred to as mini-satellite. A small DNA sequence is arranged tandemly in many copy numbers. The copy number varies from chromosome to chromosome in an individual. The numbers of repeat show very high degree of polymorphism. As a result the size of VNTR varies in size from 0.1 to 20 kb. |
