How much DNA is unique to and individual?
About 0.0001 percent !
What are some of the traits that are unique to an individual?
finger prints . DNA , cells
Which process involving DNA creates a DNA pattern or fingerprint unique to an individual person?
DNA fingerprinting
How is Biotechnology Used in forensics?
from the sample we can know the DNA sequence,which is unique for that individual
Why is DNA reffered to as a genetic fingerprint?
It contains the blueprint for your body, and is unique to every individual
You are attempting to link an individual to a crime The only evidence you have is a tiny drop of blood How can you use this drop of blood to make the association?
The drop of blood can be analyzed using DNA testing to identify the individual's unique genetic profile. This profile can then be compared to databases of known DNA profiles to potentially link the individual to the crime scene. The more unique the DNA match, the stronger the association between the individual and the crime.
What substance found in genes proves you are unique?
DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid. Your genes contain forms of DNA encoding that make every human individual unique (except in the case of identical twins).
How do you identify someone by hair?
Hair is made of cells that include DNA. DNA is unique to each individual, ergo - you can identify someone with confidence based on DNa analysis of the hair.
Why is DNA fingerprinting important?
because that is the only unique identity of any individual which cannot be similar or it can be altered
A pattern produced from fragments of the DNA of a specific person?
Gel electrophoresis is the process that is used in DNA creates and pattern unique to an individual person. Each person has their own DNA patterns.
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.
What are the strengths of DNA testing?
DNA testing is strong due to the following reasons:DNA is unique to each organism - there are certain stretched of DNA in the genome of each organism that is unique to that organism so looking for this DNA segment can tell scientists where the DNA came fromDNA is also unique to each individual - each human being has stretched of DNA in theie genomes that are different and unique. Looking for these stretehes can determine who the DNA came from and whether or not two individuals are relatedUsing the DNA from one parent and the child, once can determind who the other parent is by looking at their DNA sequence
