Summary Introduction

To determine: The father of a baby from the given result of a paternity test.

Concept introduction:

Short tandem repeats are small sequences of nucleotides that are repeated number of times and may differ from individual to individual. It is used for the determination of kinship such as paternity test.

Explanation of Solution

Short tandem repeats are routinely used to solve the kinship disputes and to provide evidence in criminal cases. A baby has half the alleles from the mother and half from the father. Hence the corresponding short tandem repeats (STRs) are present from both parents. Therefore, it should match with either mother or father...
