Fingerprint evidence and DNA evidence have NOTHING to do with one another except the fact that they are both collected by a crime scene technician. Fingerprints are the recoverable oily residue left by the pads of your fingers. DNA evidence is concerned with bodily fluids and the unique chemical/biological makeup of them that is unique to all individuals. The only similarity between these two concepts is that both fingerprints and DNA are totally unique to each individual and are, therefore 100% accurate in identifying people.

How are restriction maps and DNA fingerprints similar?
Dna fingerprints are a type of restriction maps.
Why is DNA sometimes called the fingerprint inside your body?
because everyone has different DNA and different fingerprints.
What are two different uses of DNA fingerprint?
The DNA fingerprint is used in many fields. DNA fingerprints are commonly used in forensic science. Also, the Human Genome Project utilized DNA fingerprints to map the entire human genome.
What effect does heredity have on fingerprint characteristics?
DNA does not affect fingerprints. Identical twins- people with the exact same DNA- have different fingerprints. Fingerprints (and toe, lip, or any other -print your body has) form in the womb at random.
Which techniques is not used in preparing DNA fingerprints?
A. Gene therapy
Do fingerprints provide DNA?
Fingerprints do not provide DNA themselves. It is the DNA that creates the contours of your fingerprints, so rather than providing the DNA fingerprints merely support it. Therefore, if DNA is already available it can easily be linked to fingerprints.
What are DNA fingerprints?
DNA

Who has DNA fingerprints that are similar to your DNA fingerprints?
1 in 10,000,000
Under what circumstances are DNA fingerprints used?
In most cases DNA fingerprints are used in identifying crime suspects. If there are fingerprints left at a crime scene then DNA fingerprints are used to attempt to identify the suspect. There is a database of criminal fingerprints that prints can be matched to if they are in the database.
Why is DNA sometimes called the fingerprint inside your body?

How fingerprints are inherited?
No two fingerprints are alike, but i would say through DNA
