Chapter 21.8, Problem 21.87QAP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Every individual have unique fingerprint and it depends upon DNA, that’s why this unique features can be used to identify person’s identity in forensic lab, police station etc. Since DNA of an individual person is unique throughout the body and this can’t be changed but the finger print which depends upon DNA can be changed by using surgery.

Concept used:

In DNA fingerprint, DNA cells is analyzed and identified. In DNA fingerprint blood sample are collected from the victim and are acted upon be restriction enzymes. The enzymes cut DNA in a sample of blood, hair or semen into fragments. These fragments are sorted by size through gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments are tagged with a radioactive isotope, then a piece of

xray Film placed over gel is exposed by the radioactivity to give a pattern of dark and light bonds known as a DNA fingerprint.

To determine: DNA fingerprint
