Question

Hypervariable repeat sequences or variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) are

• A. Introns of split genes
• B. Minisatellites
• C. Flanked by conserved restriction sites
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

A variable number tandem repeat (or VNTR) is a location in a genome where a short nucleotide sequence is organized as a tandem repeat. These can be found on many chromosomes, and often show variations in length (number of repeats) among individuals. These are minisatellites flanked by conserved restriction sites.

So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C.'
