In the schematic representation, few representative chromosomes have been shown contain different copy number of VNTR. Which of the following individual is criminal on the behalf of this ?

Options

A. Individual 'A'
B. Individual 'B'
C. Can't be predicated
D. Neither 'A' nor 'B', any other individual

Answer

B

Explanation

Schematic representation of DNA fingerprinting : Few representative chromosomes have been shown to contain different copy number of VNTR. For the sake of understanding different colour schemes have been used to trace the origin of each band in the gel. The two alleles (paternal and maternal) of a chromosome also contain different copy numbers of VNTR. It is clear that the banding pattern of DNA from crime scene matches with individual B. And not with A.
