You are handling a paternity lawsuit brought against five poten woman. You isolated DNA from the mother, the child, and all the potential fathers. After using PCR to amplify specific polymorphic loci from each individual, you run a gel of the amplified products and stain with ethidium bromide to visualize the DNA fingerprints (shown below). Mo-mother; Ch-child; MI-M5 = potential fathers. BI-B10 indicate marker bands present in the child. Do these results suggest that any of the men could be the child's biological father?

First please note this is DNA-B and NOT DNA-A, also the marked answer was wrong so please choose another one
In 1967, a couple accused a hospital of switching their baby with another. DNA interpretation did not exist at this time so the hospital traced the blood types of the family in order to determine if a mistake was made. The mother had Type A blood, the father had Type AB blood, and the baby had Type O blood. Use the Punnett square to defend your answer to the following question: Did the hospital make a mistake and switch the baby? ____________
Both karyotyping and G_banding techniques show normal chromosomal pattern, however pedigree analysis revealed abnormality of genetic origin, can you think of a reason that would explain the findings?
Someone broke into the bookstore and stole thousands of dollars’ worth of textbooks. Some hairs were left behind, from which DNA was extracted. An individual was caught with all five of the stolen textbooks in his bag. He claims his friend gave them to him. You decide to amplify two regions of the DNA (two loci, plural of locus) and digest the samples, and get the following result on the electrophoresis gel.L = Standard marker 1 = Suspect 1 2 = Suspect 2 3 = DNA from crime scene (Note: assume bands that are close in distance traveled are the same length. Higher concentrations of DNA can make a band appear to travel farther.) Which band patterns are similar?

A proband female with an unidentified disease seeks the advice of a genetic counselor before starting a family. Based on the following data, the counselor constructs a pedigree encompassing three generations: (1) The maternal grandfather of the proband has the disease. (2) The mother of the proband is unaffected and is the youngest of five children, the three oldest being male. (3) The proband has an affected older sister, but the youngest siblings are unaffected twins (boy and girl). (4) All the individuals who have the disease have been revealed.
