Answer:
● DNA fingerprinting is a method for comparing the DNA sequences of
any two individuals.
● 99.9% of the base sequences in all human beings are identical. It is
the remaining 0.1% that makes every individual unique.
● It is a really difficult and time-consuming task to sequence and
compare all 3 × 109 bases in two individuals. So, instead of
considering the entire genome, certain specific regions called repetitive
DNA sequences are used for comparative study.
