Q. No.VNTRs are useful in DNA fingerprinting because they exhibit:
| 1. | High mutation rate in coding regions |
| 2. | Identical sequences across individuals |
| 3. | High degree of polymorphism in non-coding regions |
| 4. | Constant length in all individuals |

What is the role of Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) in genetic studies?
| 1. | They are used to identify active sites of restriction enzymes within the genome. |
| 2. | VNTRs serve as molecular clocks to estimate the time of species divergence. |
| 3. | They are essential for the replication of viral RNA into the host genome. |
| 4. | VNTRs are used in DNA fingerprinting to identify genetic variability among individuals. |

Satellite DNA is important because it :
| 1. | shows high degree of polymorphism in population and also the same degree of polymorphism in an individual, which is heritable form parents to children. |
| 2. | does not code for proteins and is same in all members of the population |
| 3. | codes for enzymes needed for DNA replication |
| 4. | codes for proteins needed in cell cycle. |
