Question
Chapter 27, Problem 12EQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) fingerprints of the given family to check the male whocan be ruled out as the father. The general strategy used for calculating the chances that thefingerprint of the father could match the offspring’s alone.
Introduction:
DNA fingerprinting is a technique used to isolate and identify the different elements in the base-pair sequence of the DNA. Sequence of the genes can be identifiedby this technique which eventually helpsin determining the functions of genes. Different patterns of bands can be made by the DNA fingerprinting.

Examine the autoradiogram below. Three loci of VNTRS from a mother (M), child (C) and three potential fathers (F1, F2, F3)
of the child are shown. From your analysis of this data, are any of these men potentially the father of the child or not? If so,
which one? Explain your answer.

Regarding the analysis of single marker STR results used in forensic science. 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 guilty
