∙ 14y agoNo. They are NOT the same. Fingerprint collection and analysis and DNA collection and analysis are two totally seperate, different disciplines, and are not comparable.

∙ 13y agoI am not sure, but I do know that DNA is referred to as your genetic fingerprint. I hope this might have helped!!

A pattern of bands made up of specific DNA fragments is a?
DNA fingerprint
Suggestions useful for fingerprinting DNA?
A DNA fingerprint is 'taken' by removing the genetic material from a cell. This genetic material consists of DNA bases which are sorted into groups. The DNA bases are then cut and some radioactive nucleutides added. The radioactive DNA is then collected and is ready for analysis.
Are genetic fingerprints and DNA fingerprints the same?
yes they mean the same thing.
What name is given to a region of DNA that varies from person to person?
Restriction fragments are the region of DNA that varies from person to person. This is the key for DNA testing as many parts of the DNA string are the same for all mankind.
Do both plants and animals have the same kind of genetic material which is called DNA?
Yes, both plants and animals have DNA.
Do children's fingerprint have the same DNA as adults?
Fingerprints don't have DNA... a fingerprint is simply the imprint of the ridges on the skin of the finger. Cells contain DNA, and your genetic code (DNA) stays the same throughout your life, it does not change when you become an adult.
What is a DNA fingerprint who can have the same DNA fingerprint as yours?
A DNA fingerprint is really all the genes that are found in in your chromosomes. No two are ever alike except for identical twins (or triplets).
Why is DNA reffered to as a genetic fingerprint?
It contains the blueprint for your body, and is unique to every individual
Are fingerprints genetic?
No one has the same fingerprint not even in your family.
How can DNA fingerprinting establish paternity?
DNA fingerprinting can establish paternity by comparing the genetic markers, or patterns, between the child and the alleged father. By analyzing specific regions of DNA, scientists can determine if the child has inherited genetic material from the putative father. If there are enough matching genetic markers, it is considered highly likely that the tested man is the biological father.
A pattern of bands made up of specific DNA fragments is a?
DNA fingerprint
How is a DNA FINGERPRINT PRODUCES?
Selected fragments are used to produce a DNA fingerprint.
What does DNA fingerprint shows?
A DNA fingerprint refers to the fact that a person's DNA code is as unique to that person as his/her fingerprint. A person can be implicated for a crime or ruled out as the criminal based on his/her DNA code.
Why is DNA fingerprinting unreliable?
DNA fingerprinting is not as reliable as regular DNA profiling. Statistics show that about one out every 800,000 people have the same DNA fingerprint.
Why do you have DNA?
DNA is the genetic code. Without DNA, we would just all be the same.

Why do siblings have the same fingerprints?
This claim is incorrect; no two people, whether completely unrelated or identical sibling, has the same fingerprint. This is because your fingerprint is mutually exclusive to any genetic factor; your fingerprint is caused as a result of your experience in the womb, not your genes.
