DNA fingerprinting refers to

1. molecular analysis of profiles of DNA samples
2. analysis of DNA samples using imprinting devices
3. techniques used for molecular analysis of different specimens of DNA
4. techniques used for identification of fingerprints of individuals

Correct answer: molecular analysis of profiles of DNA samples

Solution

DNA fingerprinting is the analysis of DNA profiles, usually by comparing characteristic patterns from samples. It does not involve actual fingerprint ridges or imprinting devices.
