Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2MC
Imagine you are looking at a DNA profile that shows an STR pattern of a mother's DNA and her child's DNA. Will all of the bands of the child's DNA match those of the mother?
a. Yes, because the mother's DNA and her child's DNA are identical.
b. Yes, because the child developed from her mother's egg.
c. No, because half of the child's DNA is inherited from its father.
d. No, because the child's DNA is a random sampling of its mother's.
