5.Molecular Basis of Inheritance
medium
$VNTRs$ are
A
Variable Number of Tandem Repeats.
B
Very Narrow Tandem Repeats.
C
Variable Non-cistronic Transposon Repeats.
D
Valuable Non-cistronic Transposon Regions.
Solution
In human genome, there are about $200,000$ satellite loci. These simple tandem repeats of short sequences are called 'Variable Number Tandem Repeats' (VNTRs). These repeats are inherited from the parents, and are used as genetic markers in a personal identity test.
