Why is a very small trace of blood enough for DNA fingerprinting?

A very small amount of DNA (eg. from blood) is enough for DNA fingerprinting because of the use of amplification techniques.Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is an amplification technique that is commonly used for this purpose. It can begin with a very small amount of DNA and make copies of this - resulting in enough DNA to run multiple tests.

Fetal hemoglobin or hemoglobin F does not bind oxygen as well as adult hemoglobin hemoglobin A?

FalseAdult hemoglobin has less affinity for oxygen than fetal hemogloblin. That is why, as an adult female's blood passes BY the placenta, the oxygen diffusses into the fetal blood. Likewise, adult blood, having explelled the carbon dioxide during exhalation, has less concentration of carbon-dioxide than the fetal blood, so it diffuses out of fetal blood into the adult blood. That way, the fetus doesn't need respiration as an oxygen source, nor as a way to rid of waste and carbon dioxide.

Is the non invasive paternity test accurate?

Non invasive prenatal paternity testing can be done by collecting a blood sample from the mother. Fetal DNA makes its way into the maternal blood stream through the placental wall which envelopes the unborn baby. A particular vein has been found to be particularly rich in fetal DNA. This procedure carries huge advantages over prenatal testing procedures such as amniocentesis or CVS. The non invasive prenatal test is totally risk free.
