Q. No.What characteristic of short tandem repeat DNA makes it useful for DNA fingerprinting?
1.
The number of repeats varies widely from person to person or animal to animal.
2.
The sequence of DNA that is repeated varies, significantly, from individual to individual.
3.
The sequence variation is acted upon differently by natural selection in different environments.
4.
Every racial and ethnic group has inherited different short tandem repeats.

A mutation that inactivates the regulatory gene of a repressible operon in an E. coli cell would result in
1. continuous transcription of the structural gene controlled by that regulator
2. complete inhibition of transcription of the structural gene controlled by that regulator
3. irreversible binding of the repressor to the operator
4. inactivation of RNA polymerase by alteration of its active site

| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
- If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
- If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
- If the assertion is true but the reason is false
