The most obvious application of physics in DNA fingerprinting involves the separation of fragments of DNA based on their mass and charge. This is done in a "gel electrophoresis" apparatus that pulls the fragments through a gel using an electric field. The physics therefore is that of the electric field, electric charge, and the resulting force to mass ratio.

What evidence can be used for DNA fingerprinting at a crime scene?

DNA evidence from blood, hair, saliva, or other bodily fluids found at the crime scene can be used for DNA fingerprinting. This evidence is compared to the DNA profiles of suspects to determine if a match exists, helping to identify or exclude individuals involved in the crime.

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

Yes, coding DNA can be used for DNA fingerprinting. Coding DNA, which contains genes that encode for proteins, can contain genetic variations that are unique to each individual. These variations can be used as markers in DNA fingerprinting to identify individuals or determine relationships between individuals.
