Verified By Collegedunia
Solution and Explanation
- Type of DNA: Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) or Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs).
- Characteristics:
1. They are non-coding, repetitive sequences of DNA.
2. They show high polymorphism, making them unique to each individual (except identical twins).
