Questions
Give the applications of DNA fingerprinting technique.
Mention DNA fingerprinting application.
List any two applications of DNA fingerprinting technique.
Mention any two applications of DNA fingerprinting technique.
Solution
- In parental disputes, the DNA fingerprinting technique is used to determine the true parents of the child.
- In forensic science, DNA fingerprinting is used to determine the culprit of the crime by matching the DNA fingerprint of the suspect with the biological evidence (hair, blood, skin cells, etc.) found at the crime scene.
- It is a sure-shot tool to solve paternity or maternity suits because the VNTR pattern of an individual is inherited from both the parents involved.
Notes
Students should refer to the answer according to their questions and provided marks.
