Question: Minisatellites are also known as
Options:
VNTRs
RFLPs
STRs
RAPDs
• Explanation:
-Minisatellites are a type of Variable Number Tandem Repeat (VNTR). They consist of longer repeating units (10-100 base pairs) compared to microsatellites (STRs). VNTRs, including minisatellites, are also polymorphic and have been used in DNA fingerprinting and other genetic analyses.
