Given below are two statements.
Statement I - In the population, every person shows unusual sequences of 20- 100 base pairs, which are repeated several times and are termed as VNTRs
Statement II - VNTRs are same in each individual and hence is the key factor in DNA profiling.
In the light of above statements, Select the correct option given below:
- A Both statement I and statement II are correct.
- B Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
- C Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
- D Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The length of the regions having VNTRS (Variable Number of Tandem Repeats) is different in each individual and hence is the key factor in DNA profiling.
