Consider the following statements:

I: The VNTRs belong to a class of satellite DNA called as mini-satellite.
II: Southern blotting is the transfer of DNA fragments to a filter cellulose membrane.
III: VNTRs are used in DNA fingerprinting as they do not show any variations and are not inherited.


Which of the above statements are true?

1. I and II only 2. I and III only
3. II and III only 4. I, II, and III
