What is the sensitivity of the DNA fingerprinting technique?

What is the sensitivity of the DNA fingerprinting technique?
  1. It requires a large amount of DNA to perform the analysis
  2. It requires a small amount of DNA to perform the analysis
  3. It is not sensitive to differences in DNA sequences
  4. It is only applicable to monozygotic twins

Solution

The sensitivity of the DNA fingerprinting technique has been increased by the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which allows for the amplification of DNA from a single cell.
