Concept #1: DNA Fingerprinting

Concept #2: DNA Fingerprinting

Practice: The goal of DNA fingerprinting is:

Practice: Which of the following characteristics of short tandem repeats (STRs) makes it useful for DNA fingerprinting?

Practice: The gel below shows a region of STRs from a DNA sample taken from a crime scene. It also shows the same region of STRs from 4 suspects involved in the case. Which suspect’ DNA was found at the crime scene?
