Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

VNTR (Variable Number Tandem Repeats) analysis involves cutting DNA with restriction enzymes and then analyzing the banding pattern of the fragments through techniques such as gel electrophoresis. This method is based on the variation in the number of tandem repeats at specific loci in the genome among individuals, which produces a unique pattern of DNA fragments.
