The DNA profile of each individual is highly specific. The chances of two people having exactly the same
DNA profile is 30,000 million to 1 (except for identical twins). Given a set of DNA profiles in figure 3,
determine who the father is in a paternity case.
The Case:
Missis De Los Santos has a daughter who is in need of a liver transplant. Unfortunately, Mrs. De Los
Santos was ruled out as a donor. She was asked to ask if her daughter's father could also go for a check-up
for donor compatibility. Mrs. De Los Santos believes one of two men is her daughter's father. Who
between the men is the daughter's father? Determine who the father in the case is by comparing the DNA
profiles of the persons involved in the case. At the end of your profiling activity, you will know that you
have correctly figured out who the father is if you have accounted where all the DNA markers of the
daughter came from.

Question: How can DNA evidence be used to convict or exonerate a defendant? Why is DNA evidence so powerful? Answer: DNA evidence can be used to perform DNA profiling to determine the genotype of the specific DNA sample. With just a small amount of DNA, PCR can produce billions of copies of that specific segment. The segments that are used are from non-coding regions that contain STR’s or short tandem repeats. These very short DNA sequences are repeated and are specific to individuals because we inherit them from our mother and father. Gel electrophoresis separates the PCR products based on their size and each band is compared to the allele ladder. This process helps to identify the alleles present in the original samples. DNA profiling is performed at many loci to be able to tell the genetic difference between different individuals with a lot of certainty. The DNA from the different suspects is compared to the allele…arrow_forwardTHe DNA profiles of five people potentially involved in a robbery are shown in DNA Profile #2.
