An important application of DNA fingerprinting is relationship testing. Persons who are related genetically have some bands or peaks in common. The number they share depends on the closeness of their genetic relationship. For example, an offspring is expected to receive half of his or her minisatellites from one parent and the rest from the other. The diagram shown here schematically illustrates traditional DNA fingerprints of an offspring, mother, and two potential fathers. In paternity testing, the offspring’s DNA fingerprint is first compared with that of the mother. The bands that the offspring have in common with the mother are depicted in purple. The bands that are not similar between the offspring and the mother must have been inherited from the father. These bands are depicted in red. Which male could be the father?
What is wrong with simply saying that a suspect is included in a mixture without providing any statistics? Why is it important to establish independence between alleles and between loci?

Tick all the correct statements: if a suspect's alleles are identical to those collected at a crime scene, then the suspect is possibly guilty dizygotic twins can have similar alleles at an STR locus no correct statement if a suspect's alleles are different from those found at a crime scene, then the suspect is definitely innocent monozygotic twins may have different alleles at an STR locus ☐if a suspect's alleles are different from those collected at a crime scene, then the suspect is possibly innocent ☐two unrelated individuals could have a similar genetic profile monozygotic twins cannot have different alleles at an STR locus dizygotic twins cannot have similar alleles at an STR locus ☐if a suspect's alleles are identical to those collected at a crime scene, then the suspect is definitely guiltyarrow_forwardBelow are two unrelated DNA paternity tests: one indicates the manis the father and the other shows he is not.

- You are a doctor who has obtained the karyotype below from a child to be born to one of your patients. Give your patient a brief description of karyotypes and explain how any abnormalities might have occurred.arrow_forwardThe DNA profile of each individual is highly specific. The chances of two people having exactly the same DNA profile is 30,000 million to 1 (except for identical twins). Given a set of DNA profiles in figure 3, determine who the father is in a paternity case. The Case: Missis De Los Santos has a daughter who is in need of a liver transplant. Unfortunately, Mrs. De Los Santos was ruled out as a donor. She was asked to ask if her daughter's father could also go for a check-up for donor compatibility. Mrs. De Los Santos believes one of two men is her daughter's father. Who between the men is the daughter's father? Determine who the father in the case is by comparing the DNA profiles of the persons involved in the case. At the end of your profiling activity, you will know that you have correctly figured out who the father is if you have accounted where all the DNA markers of the daughter came from.
