Why can only certain parts DNA be used as DNA fingerprints?
The parts must be unique to the person.The parts must be unique to the person
Are fingerprints the only truly unique method of identifying a person?
No. DNA can also provide proof positive.
How are humans are nearly identical genetically in coding sequences but have unique DNA fingerprints?
Small nucleotide polymorphisms is one way that you get unique genetic fingerprints. Small stretches of DNA that can be in the non-coding region and are just random differences in neutral coding errors. Google SNPS.

How can DNA fingerprints determine your family?
Since DNA fingerprints are (up to now) unique to every individual - the closer your DNA matches another person - the more likely you are to be related to that person's family.
How do DNA fingerprints help the police?
DNA fingerprints help police by providing a unique genetic profile for each individual. This information can be used to link a suspect to a crime scene or eliminate innocent individuals from suspicion. DNA fingerprints are highly accurate and can be crucial evidence in solving crimes.
What effect does heredity have on fingerprint characteristics?
DNA does not affect fingerprints. Identical twins- people with the exact same DNA- have different fingerprints. Fingerprints (and toe, lip, or any other -print your body has) form in the womb at random.
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.

Who invented DNA fingerprints?
Fingerprint evidence and DNA evidence have NOTHING to do with one another except the fact that they are both collected by a crime scene technician. Fingerprints are the recoverable oily residue left by the pads of your fingers. DNA evidence is concerned with bodily fluids and the unique chemical/biological makeup of them that is unique to all individuals. The only similarity between these two concepts is that both fingerprints and DNA are totally unique to each individual and are, therefore 100% accurate in identifying people.
Why do children have the same fingerprints as their parents?
Humans are all unique, the result of the splicing of the genes during conception. Children do have similar fingerprinting as their parents, but they are not exact matches. The result of this is because of the DNA that is "handed down" to the child.
