Question

which of the following is dna fingerprinting? dna fingerprinting is the isolation and identification of variable elements within the base - pair sequence. dna fingerprinting is the isolation of a population with desirable traits. dna fingerprinting is the determination of the individuals desired characteristics to survive and reproduce. dna fingerprinting is the joining of dna molecules of two different species.

Explanation:

DNA fingerprinting involves isolating and identifying variable elements in the base - pair sequence of DNA, which is unique to each individual (except identical twins). The other options describe different genetic processes like selective breeding, natural selection, and genetic engineering concepts respectively.

Answer:

DNA fingerprinting is the isolation and identification of variable elements within the base - pair sequence.
