Students have asked these similar questions
Which term indicates that a single gene has two or more alleles present in a population? A. Point mutation B. Genotype C. Polymorphism D. Pleiotropy
Since DNA sequences are passed down from one generation to the next, people with closer familial relationship tend to have more of their DNA sequences in common. As a result, people who are more genetically related tend to share some similar patterns in their DNA fingerprinting. If you are comparing samples, which of the following can be determined with DNA fingerprinting?
Group of answer choices? right chances
Which fraternal twin each sample came from
Which identical twin each sample is from
If the samples are from people who are married
If the samples came from mother and child

B.
Everyone in their specific database
