What is it that forms the basis of DNA Fingerprinting?
1. | The relative difference in the DNA occurrence in blood, skin and saliva |
2. | The relative amount of DNA in the ridges and grooves of the fingerprints |
3. | Satellite DNA occurs as highly repeated short DNA segments |
4. | The relative proportions of purines and pyrimidines in DNA |
Assertion (A): | The repetitive satellite DNA sequences form the basis of DNA fingerprinting. |
Reason (R): | These sequences normally do not code for any proteins, but they form a large portion of human genome. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
