Question

The size of VNTR varies from:

The correct answer is

0.1 to 20 kb

The size of VNTR (Variable Number Tandem Repeats) varies from 0.1 to 20 kb (kilobases):

1. VNTRs are repetitive sequences of DNA with variable lengths that differ between individuals.

2. Their size range makes them suitable for applications like DNA fingerprinting and forensic identification.

3. This broad range of sizes allows for significant variability, aiding in distinguishing individuals based on their genetic profiles.
