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).
Are a DNA fingerprint and a genetic fingerprint the same?
no its classed as a making of your body for people such as police or crime scene investigators
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.
How does a blood test connect two siblings with a the same mother?
A DNA sample is extracted from a swab taken from the mouth of each sibling. The resultant DNA 'fingerprints' are compared to a sample fingerprint of the mother's DNA. They should contain half the DNA fingerprint of the birth mother.
Why would identical twins produce the same DNA fingerprint?
Identical twins are formed by the human egg splitting after being fertilized. The DNA also splits, and each new egg contains the DNA of the original. This means that the twins, once born, have identical DNA. It's worth nothing that they won't have the same physical fingerprint.
When comparing the DNA fingerprints of a parent and child the parent's DNA fingerprint must have?
DNA bands that match those in the child's fingerprint and that aren't from the other parent.
Is it possible for 2 people 2 have the same DNA fingerprint?
yes if the 2 people are identicle twins
Can DNA be taken from a fingerprint?
yes
Is the goal of DNA fingerprinting to identify the DNA sequence of every gene?
false it is to show that no one person can have the same fingerprint as another except twins
