The depletion layer has large electrical resistance because:
- A It contains few ions as charge carriers.
- B It has few holes as charge carriers.
- C It has no charge carriers.
- D It contains few electrons as charge carriers.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) It has no charge carriers.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The depletion layer is "depleted" of mobile charge carriers because free electrons and holes near the junction have recombined. Since there are no free carriers (electrons or holes) to move and conduct current, this region acts as a high-resistance barrier. C) It has no charge…

DNA Fingerprinting Polymorphism in DNA sequence is the basis of genetic mapping of the human genome as well as of DNA fingerprinting. DNA fingerprinting involves identification of differences in some specific regions in the DNA sequence called repetitive DNA. It works on the principle of polymorphisms in DNA sequences. The repetitive DNA are separated from bulk genomic DNA. The bulk DNA forms a major peak and the other small peaks are referred to as satellite DNA. These repetitive/satellite DNA sequences show a high degree of polymorphisms and form the basis of DNA fingerprinting.
