Which of the following explains the difference between VNTRs and RFLPs?

A. In VNTRs, we are looking at sequence
differences in genes; in RFLPs we are
looking at sequence differences in noncoding
DNA.
B. In VNTRs, we are looking at sequence
differences in noncoding DNA; in RFLPs we
are looking at sequence differences in genes.
C. In VNTRs, we are looking at the number of
times a sequence is repeated; in RFLPs we
are looking at size differences resulting from
different restriction sites being present.
D. In VNTRs, we are looking at size
differences resulting from different restriction
sites being present; in RFLPs, we are looking
at the number of times a sequence is
repeated.
