B) EST
C) PCR
D) FISH
E) VNTR

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

VNTR, or variable number tandem repeats, is a type of RFLP that is based on the length variation of repeated DNA sequences between restriction sites. This technique is particularly useful for mapping in humans as VNTRs tend to be highly variable among individuals, allowing for the identification of unique genetic patterns.
