Assertion(A): Some specific sequences in DNA are called repetitive sequences which made the basis for DNA fingerprinting.
Reason(R): A small stretch of DNA is repeated many times in these specific sequences.
Choices for Assertions and reasons:
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false, but (R) is true.

Assertion(A): Repetitive sequences have become very useful identification tools in forensic applications.
Reason(R): DNA from every tissue from an individual show the different degree of polymorphism.
