**Paternity Testing: Family Inheritance of STR Alleles (D13S317)**
**A). What is the meaning of the numbers above the peaks for the father?**
[Insert image description — Diagram]
Description: The diagram is a graphical representation of Short Tandem Repeat (STR) alleles inheritance within a family specifically at the D13S317 locus. It illustrates the STR allele profiles for a Father, three children (Child #1, Child #2, and Child #3), and a Mother. Peaks are present at different locations corresponding to the STR alleles inherited by each family member.
**B). How many Child/children belong to both parents?**
**C). Define STR.**
**D). Define D13S317.**
**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows how alleles are inherited from parents to children. Each family member's STR profile is represented by peaks:
- **Father**: Shows blue peaks representing the alleles he has (e.g., alleles 11 and 14).
- **Child #1, #2, and #3**: Each child has a combination of peaks received from both the father and mother. For example, Child #1 might show peaks at blue (from father) and red (from mother) positions indicating the specific STR alleles they inherited.
- **Mother**: Shows red peaks representing the alleles she has (e.g., alleles 8 and 9).
Through these profiles, one can determine inheritance patterns and confirm parentage.
