Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) C-A-E-B-D

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B) C-A-E-B-D,
The techniques has following steps:
(i) Isolation of DNA from sample cell.
(ii) If DNA is less in amount, it can be amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
(iii) Digestion of this DNA by restriction endonucleases or RENS(C).
(iv) These DNA fragments are electrophoresed in agarose gel. These fragments can be visualized using EtBr-UV system (A).
(v) Separated DNA fragments are transferred to nitrocellulose membrane using Southern Blotting (E).
(vi) Probing for VNTRS is done using labelled DNA probes (B).
(vii) The hybridized fragment can be detected by autoradiography (D).
