Genetic fingerprinting and profiling

The process of DNA Fingerprinting is based on the fact that

• everyone has the exact same DNA.

• no 2 people, except identical twins, have exactly the same DNA as someone else.

• most genes are dominant.

• None of the other answer choices are correct.

(GAAT) (GAAT) (GAAT) (GAAT) is an example of:

• restriction fragments.

• DNA fingerprinting.

• PCR.

• STR.
