Question

All are applications of DNA fingerprinting except

• A. In forensic science
• B. To amplify minisatellite
• C. Diagnosis of inherited disorders
• D. Paternity testing

Answer 1

The correct option is B To amplify minisatellite

There short stretches of unique nucleotides in the genome is specific to the individual. Thus establishes unique DNA of a person. They are called random tandem repeats. DNA fingerprinting is a technique which detects them from body cells, fluid, biopsy, etc. Thus helps in detection of inherited disorders, paternity testing etc. But cannot amplify minisatellites in DNA. It can be that is done by PCR technique. So, the correct answer is option B.
