One of the most frequently used techniques in DNA fingerprinting is

1. AFLP
2. VNTR
3. SSCP
4. SCAR

Correct answer: VNTR

Solution

VNTRs are highly polymorphic because individuals differ in the number of repeat units at specific loci, making them ideal for distinguishing DNA profiles. This variability is why they are a classic and frequently used tool in DNA fingerprinting.
