The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the incorrect statement regarding DNA fingerprinting, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement**: - **Statement**: "DNA from a single cell is enough to perform DNA fingerprinting analysis." - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. DNA can be extracted from a single cell and amplified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), making it sufficient for DNA fingerprinting. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement**: - **Statement**: "DNA fingerprinting has much wider applications in determining population and genetic diversities." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also correct. DNA fingerprinting is widely used in forensic science, as well as in studies related to population genetics and diversity. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement**: - **Statement**: "The VNTR belongs to a class of satellite DNA which is referred to as micro-satellite." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. VNTR (Variable Number Tandem Repeats) is classified as mini-satellite DNA, not micro-satellite DNA. Micro-satellites are different and consist of shorter repeat units. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Statement**: - **Statement**: "DNA fingerprinting differs from individual to individual in a population except in the case of monozygotic twins." - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. DNA fingerprinting is unique to individuals, but monozygotic twins share nearly identical DNA profiles. ### Conclusion: After evaluating all the statements, the incorrect statement is the third one: "The VNTR belongs to a class of satellite DNA which is referred to as micro-satellite." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: **"The VNTR belongs to a class of satellite DNA which is referred to as micro-satellite."** ---
