Because the police can track you by both your DNA AND fingerprints.DNA for example is like:a hair folicle,fingernails,or skin.i hope this answer will solve your problem! :)
sincerely,a person that's nice enough to give you the answer! teehee

∙ 13y agoThey aren't even remotely similar. The phrase "DNA fingerprinting" has unfortunately, and mistakenly, come into commmon usage. The techniques for recovering and processing fingerprints and DNA samples are totally unlike one another.

What are DNA fingerprints?
DNA
How is the DNA fingerprint different from the other fingerprints?
DNA "fingerprinting" actually has nothing to do with fingerprints. Since fingerprints have been used in American courts since the Jennings case in 1911, maybe they used the term "DNA fingerprint" to help people grasp the concept of comparing two samples side by side, trying to find similarities and differences between them. Fingerprints are actually more unique than DNA. Identical twins (and other identical multiples) have identical DNA but different fingerprints. Every finger is different than every other finger in the entire world - including the other fingers on the same hand.
Under what circumstances are DNA fingerprints used?
In most cases DNA fingerprints are used in identifying crime suspects. If there are fingerprints left at a crime scene then DNA fingerprints are used to attempt to identify the suspect. There is a database of criminal fingerprints that prints can be matched to if they are in the database.
Which two DNA samples are the most similar?
The question itself is not clear. Two cells that have just divided will have the MOST similar DNA. If we are talking about whole organisms or individuals, then clones would have the most similar DNA, similarly identical twins would have near identical DNA. Siblings have very similar DNA but not identical of course.
How are restriction maps and DNA fingerprints similar?
Dna fingerprints are a type of restriction maps.

Do fingerprints provide DNA?
Fingerprints do not provide DNA themselves. It is the DNA that creates the contours of your fingerprints, so rather than providing the DNA fingerprints merely support it. Therefore, if DNA is already available it can easily be linked to fingerprints.

Why is DNA sometimes called the fingerprint inside your body?
because everyone has different DNA and different fingerprints.
How are restriction enzymes used to look for differences between DNA samples?
Restriction enzymes cleave, or open, the DNA so that a sample can be taken and gel electrophoresis can separate the strands of DNA. From there, DNA probes bind to certain strands in each sample and DNA fingerprints can show the differences.
Why do police use hair blood or fingerprints for DNA?
Because those personal bodily samples (among others) contain samples of the cell structure call DNA which is unique to every person on earth. The statistical odds of two people having the exact same DNA (EVEN identical twins) is so astronomical as to be insignificant.

How fingerprints are inherited?
No two fingerprints are alike, but i would say through DNA
Are genetic fingerprints and DNA fingerprints the same?
yes they mean the same thing.
