DNA fingerprint why do scientists not like this term?
Because, technically it is not correct. Fingerprint technology is an entirely different discipline and process than the collection, processing, and identifying of DNA evidence. The two procedures have nothing in common and bear no relation to one another. For some reason the phrase"DNA Fingerprinting" has become incorrectly imprinted in the public's mind and causes confusion.
Where was the DNA finger print invented?
This question needs clarification. DNA testing and fingerprint identification are not part of one another they are two separate disciplines in forensics.
A strand of DNA formed by the splicing of DNA from two different species called?
recombinant DNA
Splicing DNA from two different organisms produces a new DNA segment called?
When DNA contains parts from two or more organisms it is recombined. Recombinant DNA is often used in genetic engineering. A natural process of DNA recombination is called sexual reproduction.
Why DNA is so useful in forensics and identification?
D.N.A. is used to help solve crimes by the fingerprint in the DNA which can track down the person at the scene of the crime. Also, if a sample of the body is left (i.e. blood, any other bodily fluids, hair, skin) is left at the scene, through DNA finger printing, the criminal(s) involved would be identified.
Are a DNA fingerprint and a genetic fingerprint the same?
no its classed as a making of your body for people such as police or crime scene investigators
What is a DNA fingerprint who can have the same DNA fingerprint as yours?
A DNA fingerprint is really all the genes that are found in in your chromosomes. No two are ever alike except for identical twins (or triplets).
How does a blood test connect two siblings with a the same mother?
A DNA sample is extracted from a swab taken from the mouth of each sibling. The resultant DNA 'fingerprints' are compared to a sample fingerprint of the mother's DNA. They should contain half the DNA fingerprint of the birth mother.

Why fingers prints so important?
because they identify who a person is everyone's fingerprint is DIFFERENT, no two people have the same fingerprint
How is the DNA fingerprint different from the other fingerprints?
DNA "fingerprinting" actually has nothing to do with fingerprints. Since fingerprints have been used in American courts since the Jennings case in 1911, maybe they used the term "DNA fingerprint" to help people grasp the concept of comparing two samples side by side, trying to find similarities and differences between them. Fingerprints are actually more unique than DNA. Identical twins (and other identical multiples) have identical DNA but different fingerprints. Every finger is different than every other finger in the entire world - including the other fingers on the same hand.
What are two common uses for DNA testing?
DNA Fingerprinting, and Testing for alleles.
Why using more regions of the genome decrease the probability that two people would have the same DNA fingerprint?
Cause u is sucking.
Why does using more region of the genome decrease the probability that two people would have the same DNA fingerprint?
Cause u is sucking.
How do experts use DNA fingerprinting to analyze evidence in crimes?
There are three types of prints on fingers. The whorl, arch and loop. These three can make up fingerprints of people.
Two different species of mosquito have different body structures. Both of these species have DNA that tell their bodies how to grow. How can DNA produce two very different species?
different organism have dna with nucleotide base in a different order
