Best Answer

DNA bands could be viewed using suitable colour marker dye like ethydium bromide.

*that is only visible once illuminated with UV light

How does the DDC perform paternity tests?

They perform paternity tests by DNA tests, which is a very effective way to do tests. DNA is unique to everyone. If trying to find the parents of a child, they will take DNA from the parents and the child and test them in a Eletrophoresis. From there, they will observe the bands, if the DNA bands of the child matches any or both of the parents, they it is confirmed who is the parent.


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.


What is the role of EtBr in electrophoresis?

Ethidium bromide interchalates with DNA. It doesn't affect electrophoresis, but it help visualise the DNA bands after electrophoresis. The EtBr that is bound to the DNA will fluoresce under ultraviolet light.
