Question
Chapter ST.2, Problem 7RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The term profile probability and the method to calculate it.
Introduction: The DNA profile is the characteristics of an individual’s DNA. These characteristics are as unique as fingerprints. The DNA profile of an individual can be done by using a few skin cells, hair root, or a small amount of saliva or blood.
