$DNA$ fingerprinting using Variable Number Tandem Repeats $(VNTRs)$ is based on the observation that

every individual has unique alleles at each $VNTR$ locus.

the $DNA$ of $VNTR$ loci is more stable than that of loci which code for proteins.

$VNTR$ sequences show little variability.

$VNTR$ loci are highly polymorphic.

Solution

The technique of $DNA$ fingerprinting was initially developed by Alec Jeffrey's. He used a satellite $DNA$ as probe that shows high degree of polymorphisms. $DNA$ fingerprinting using variable number tandem repeats is based on the observation that $VNTR$ loci are highly polymorphic.
