Can coding DNA type of genetic material be used for DNA fingerprinting?

it can!


Why do forensic labs analyze non-coding DNA and not genes?

Coding DNA or exons are varying among individuals. But non-coding DNA doesn't vary among individuals and they don't carry information about gene expression patterns. Therefore, non-coding DNA is used in forensic analyses.


What is the difference between coding DNA and junk DNA?

Junk DNA is non-coding DNA it does not code for protein.


How is DNA used as evidence of evolution?

All living things have DNA -- both coding and non-coding DNA. The percentage of similarity between living things matches up with the preexisting theory of evolution.


What is DNA coding?

junk DNA


What does a long sequence of base pairs code for?

Coding DNA is DNA that "codes" for protein creation. DNA is NOT strictly speaking a code however, it's more like a 3D reverse template for the protein. The component chemicals coalesce from the cell's plasma against the coding DNA much like a lot of non-biological catalyzation. When the protein is completed it peels off and does whatever that protein does.By contrast, non-coding DNA functions in ways other than direct protein synthesis. Some of these functions are being learned, but others are currently unknown. And it is likely that some of the non-coding sections of DNA are "Junk" DNA, ie DNA that does literally nothing.Junk DNA and non-coding DNA often mutate much faster than coding DNA for the simple reason that mutations in coding DNA are usually fatal.


How much of your DNA is not meaningful?

I am not 100% sure what you mean by this question, but i'll try to answer it! I'm pretty sure that all DNA is important, but only about 1.5% of your DNA codes for proteins (is coding DNA). The other 98.5% is 'non coding' DNA and does not code for proteins


Why DNA is called genetic material?

DNA is the molecule by which the genes are coding in the organism. DNA is transcribed into RNA which is then used as a template in the synthesis of proteins.


How does DNA code for proteins?

The human DNA codes for proteins through transcription and replication of the genes. Only about 2 percent of the DNA is used for coding.
