List three ways that DNA technology could be used to improve the lives of humans?
1. Identify humans 2. Identify human remains 3. Trace human origins
How do scientists use DNA to study the origins of human?

Can you trace your Indian ancestoral roots?
If you are speaking of your American Indian roots, to trace the origins it might be possible by using DNA. It would even be more help if you have relatives and they would give their DNA as well.
How was blood used for forensics?
It is used to trace DNA.
How is the mitochondrial DNA useful in identifying people?
Mitochondrial DNA is passed in an unbroken line from mother to offspring. The father does not contibute mt DNA to his children. Any changes in DNA sequences builds up gradually from mutations only. These mutations can be compared across populations for differences and simarlarities and therefore trace movements and ancestry of human populations. This removes any confusion that arises from nuclear DNA in which is a mixture of both parents and so changes with every generation. One exception for this is Y chromosome DNA which is passed in an unbroken line from father to son and can be used in a similar way as analysing mt DNA but only for males.
Human chromosomes have hundreds of where the dna is unzipped so replication can begin?
The human chromosomes have hundreds of origins of replication where the DNA unwinds and replication begins. These origins are specific DNA sequences that mark the starting points for the replication process by recruiting the necessary enzymes and proteins. Replication occurs bidirectionally from each origin, ensuring that the entire chromosome is faithfully duplicated.
Each human chromosome is replicated in about how many sections?
Each human chromosome is typically replicated in multiple sections called replication origins. These origins are sites along the chromosome where the DNA double helix unwinds and new DNA strands are synthesized during DNA replication.
What type of DNA traces female lines back into the deep past?
The mitochondrial DNA can be used to trace female lines of descent.
Why were garden peas used in studying genetics?
because their DNA are similar with the human DNA.
What are the areas on DNA where replication occurs called?
DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.
What are two different uses of DNA fingerprint?
The DNA fingerprint is used in many fields. DNA fingerprints are commonly used in forensic science. Also, the Human Genome Project utilized DNA fingerprints to map the entire human genome.
How does the comparison of ape DNA and human DNA provide insights into the evolutionary relationship between the two species?
The comparison of ape DNA and human DNA reveals similarities that suggest a close evolutionary relationship between the two species. By analyzing the genetic similarities and differences, scientists can trace the evolutionary history and understand how humans and apes are related through a common ancestor.
