Solution
The correct option is B Non-coding sequences
British geneticist Alec Jeffreys noticed that certain sequences of highly variable DNA (known as mini satellites), which do not contribute to the functions of genes, are repeated within genes. He recognized that each individual has a unique pattern of minisatellites (the only exceptions being multiple individuals from a single zygote, such as identical twins). Thus, DNA fingerprinting relies on identifying specific non-coding sequences.
