Summary Introduction

To determine:

The process of DNA profiling.

Introduction:

DNA is a chain of polynucleotide. A nucleotide is made up of a deoxyribose sugar, anitrogenous base on the first carbon of sugar and a phosphate group on the fifth carbon ofthe sugar. The nucleotides are of four types based on the type of the base. Thenitrogenous bases are either purines (adenine and guanine) or pyrimidines (cytosine andthymine). Based on the arrangement of bases, the DNA sequence is determined. The DNA arrangement of every individual is unique to them, which can be used for the DNA profiling.
