5.Molecular Basis of Inheritance
medium
Each individual has a unique $DNA$ fingerprint as individuals differ in
A
number of minisatellites on chromosome.
B
location of minisatellites on chromosome.
C
size of minisatellites on chromosome.
D
All of the above
Solution
Minisatellites are inherently unstable and susceptible to mutation at a higher rate than other sequences of $DNA$. Thus, due to difference in number, location and size of minisatellites on chromosomes, each individual has a unique $DNA$ fingerprint.
