Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
In DNA, a small sequence of 20-100 base pairs is arranged tandemly in many copy numbers.
The copy number varies from chromosome to chromosome in an individual, showing a very high degree of polymorphism.
These repeated sequences are known as Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) or minisatellites, which form the basis of DNA fingerprinting.
