Question

state role of VNTRin DNA fingerprinting.

Answer 1

hiii ^_^


This is also called as tandem repeat. VNTRsserve as an important source of RFLP genetic markers which are in turn used for linkage analysis of genomes. VNTRs produce a pattern of bands unique to each individual. *DNA fingerprinting is used to identify criminals related to forensic department.

hope it helps

Answer 2

Hey mate here's your answer

Though 99.9% of human DNA sequences are the same in every person, there are particular sequences called as VNTRs which are unique to every person.

Variable Number of Tandem Repeat (VNTR) loci are the chromosomal locations in which a short DNA sequence is repeated a variable number of times. This is also called as tandem repeat.

VNTRs serve as an important source of RFLP genetic markers which are in turn used for linkage analysis of genomes. VNTRs produce a pattern of bands unique to each individual.
