Interpretation: The basis of identifying an individual by DNA profiling is to be described.
Concept introduction: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that stores genetic information. It contains the instructions for constructing other large molecules, which are known as proteins. The cells are instructed to make distinct proteins based on the DNA sequences that they contain.
Answer to Problem 70A
DNA profiling allows for the identification of individuals on the basis of their specific genetic composition.
Explanation of Solution
DNA profiling is a technique that may be applied to the process of recognizing individuals based on the distinctive genetic composition of each individual. Despite having similar facial characteristics, eye and hair colors, and even eye and hair color, people do not share the same DNA.
DNA sequences differ across organisms with various traits or appearances. DNA profiling can identify a particular DNA sample or assess how closely related the different samples are to one another.
DNA profiling allows for the identification of individuals on the basis of their specific genetic composition.
