What is DNA fingerprinting?
Back
DNA fingerprinting is a technique used to identify individuals based on their unique DNA profiles, which are derived from specific regions of the DNA that vary greatly among individuals.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How is DNA fingerprinting used in paternity testing?
Back
DNA fingerprinting can determine paternity by comparing the DNA profiles of the child and the potential father. If the child inherits DNA markers from the father, he is likely to be the biological parent.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What role do alleles play in DNA fingerprinting?
Back
Alleles are different forms of a gene that can exist at a specific locus on a chromosome. In DNA fingerprinting, variations in alleles among individuals are analyzed to create unique DNA profiles.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the significance of STRs (Short Tandem Repeats) in DNA analysis?
Back
STRs are repeating sequences of DNA that are highly variable among individuals. They are commonly used in DNA fingerprinting because their variability helps distinguish between different DNA profiles.

What is the process of collecting DNA samples for fingerprinting?
Back
DNA samples can be collected from various sources, including blood, saliva, hair, or skin cells. The samples are then processed to extract DNA for analysis.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can DNA fingerprinting be used in criminal investigations?
Back
In criminal investigations, DNA fingerprinting can link a suspect to a crime scene by matching DNA found at the scene with the suspect's DNA profile.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the importance of a control sample in DNA fingerprinting?
Back
A control sample is important to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the DNA analysis. It helps to confirm that the testing process is working correctly.
