- 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?arrow_forwardAgree or disagree with each of the five statements below and describe why the statement is or is not true. Number your answers so I know which statement you're talking about. Berdon syndrome is a recessive disorder in humans that is typically fatal shortly after birth. This disease will eventually be eliminated from the population because people with the disease die before they reproduce. Jalili syndrome is an extremely rare recessive disorder. A person with one normal allele and one disease allele will not suffer from this disorder. The ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) is a dominant trait in humans. Therefore, the majority of the population must have this trait. An individual's phenotype is determined entirely by their DNA. All mutations are harmful.arrow_forwardSomeone has 3 chromosomes instead of two is a _____________ Person.arrow_forward
