Comment on the utility of variability in number of tandem repeats during DNA finger printing.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Tandemness in repeats provides many copies of the sequence for fingerprinting, and variability in nitrogen base sequence in them. Beingindividualspecific, this proves to be useful in the process of DNA fingerprinting.
