Interpretation: The scientific methods that can be applied to the process of DNA fingerprinting are to be described.
Concept introduction: DNA fingerprinting is a technique used to identify an individual from a DNA sample by analyzing the individual's unique DNA patterns.
Answer to Problem 33LC
DNA fingerprinting method is used in the legal system as evidence, as well as in the identification of remains, the search for biological relations, and the investigation of medical conditions.
Explanation of Solution
DNA fingerprinting is a chemical test that reveals a person's or other organism's genetic composition. Any DNA sample discovered at a crime scene can be analyzed for the degree of polymorphism in noncoding repetitive sequences.
Tracing the DNA profile makes it easy to identify the offender by DNA fingerprinting on the suspects. Fingerprinting applications are also beneficial for locating the parents of an unclaimed infant by running a paternity test on a sample of the baby's DNA.
DNA fingerprinting method is used in the legal system as evidence, as well as in the identification of remains, the search for biological relations, and the investigation of medical conditions.

- Technetium is the first element in the periodic chart that does not have any stable isotopes. Technetium-99m is an especially interesting and valuable isotope as it emits a gamma ray with a half life ideally suited for medical tests. It would seem that the decay of technetium should fit the treatment above with the result In(c/c) = -kt. The table below includes data from the two sites: http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/druginfo.cfm?id=7130 http://wiki.medpedia.com/Clinical: Neutrospec_(Technetium_(99m Tc)_fanolesomab). a. b. C. Graph the fraction (c/c.) on the vertical axis versus the time on the horizontal axis. Also graph In(c/c.) on the vertical axis versus time on the horizontal axis. When half of the original amount of starting material has hours fraction remaining disappeared, c/c = ½ and the equation In(c/c.) = -kt becomes In(0.5) = -kt1/2 where t₁₂ is the half life (the time for half of the material to decay away).
