Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i)DNA finger printing is the easier & quicker method to compare the genetic difference among the two individuals .This technique was developed by Alec Jeffrey.
(ii)The technique analyses each individual's unique DNA sequences and provides distinctive characteristics and provides distinctive charactersitics of individual which help in identification.
(iii)Variable Number of Tandem Reapeat sequences (VNTRs)serve as molecular markers for identification.
(iv)In human beings ,99% of the DNA base sequences are the same and this is called as bulk genomic DNA.
(v)The remaining 1 % DNA sequence differs from one individual to another .and is present as small stretch of repeated sequences which is known as satellite DNA.
(vi)The number of copies of the repeat sequences also called as VNTRs differs from one individual to another ,and results in variation in the size of the DNA segment.
(vii)Satellite DNA bring about variation within the population.VAriation in DNA banding pattern reveals differences among the individuals.
