dear nihala 
VNTR ( VARIABLE NUMBER OF TANDOM REPEATS ) are satelite dna that shows high degree of polymerphism . 
VNTR are used as a probe in dna finger printing . 
immobilised fragments are hybridised with a vntr probe . 
vntr will vary in size from 0.1 to 20 kb 
hence , the band of diffrent size will be obtained .
