DNA fingerprinting (aka DNA profiling) is a scientific procedure used to determine identity or parentage using DNA. Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTR) are found in the nucleotides of a DNA strand. When there is a pattern of two or more nucleotides that is repeated, and the repeated patterns are directly adjacent to each other (CATCATCAT) this is a VNTR. These VNTR show up when used in gel electrophoresis, and this outcome can be used to compare DNA samples. If the pattern in the gel for a a blood sample matches the pattern in the gel for an adult, the blood most likely belongs to the adult.

When comparing the DNA fingerprints of a parent and child the parent's DNA fingerprint must have?
DNA bands that match those in the child's fingerprint and that aren't from the other parent.
Can DNA be taken from a fingerprint?
yes
What does a DNA fingerprint look like?
A DNA fingerprint could appear in a few different ways depending on it's use. Sometimes a DNA fingerprint just appears as a series of lines on a square board.
What is a DNA fingerprint?
Everyone has their own unique DNA fingerprint. DNA is mixed with some kind of chemical (I'm afraid I don't know the specifics) which creates a unique image that slightly resembles a barcode.
What are the most commonly used markers for a DNA fingerprint?
no
A pattern of bands made up of specific DNA fragments is a?
DNA fingerprint
How is a DNA FINGERPRINT PRODUCES?
Selected fragments are used to produce a DNA fingerprint.
What does DNA fingerprint shows?
A DNA fingerprint refers to the fact that a person's DNA code is as unique to that person as his/her fingerprint. A person can be implicated for a crime or ruled out as the criminal based on his/her DNA code.
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).
When comparing the DNA fingerprints of a parent and child the parent's DNA fingerprint must have?
DNA bands that match those in the child's fingerprint and that aren't from the other parent.
Can DNA be taken from a fingerprint?
yes
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 DNA fingerprint for?

How do you make DNA fingerprint?
gel electrophoresis
How is DNA fingerprint prepared?
Odiously blood
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.
