Q. Consider the following statements: (A) VNTR varies in size from 0.1–20 kb. (B) VNTR of monozygotic twins is similar. Select the correct option

A) A is true, B is false
B) Both A and B are true
C) A is false, B is true
D) Both A and B are false
Explanation

VNTR shows high degree of polymorphism due to size varying copy number in different chromosomes in an individual. Thus, they differ in size greatly from 0.1 to 20 kb. VNTRs differ among individuals in a population except in case of monozygotic or identical twins.
