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 |
