Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The method by which the DNA of a person is studied is called DNA profiling. This method is used for paternity testing to detect the biological parents of a child. The DNA profiling is also used for criminal investigations to detect the culprits.

- The identity of Kim's biological father is unknown, but it is thought to be either Kevin or Thomas. To determine which of the two men it is, blood typing of all the persons involved was performed. Here are the results of the blood tests, including the phenotypes and possible genotypes of each person: Rachel (mother) Type AB; genotype IA, IB Kim (child) Type A; genotype is either IA, IA (if homozygous) or IA, i (if heterozygous) Kevin (alleged father #1) Type A; genotype is either IA,IA if homozygous or IA, i if heterozygous Thomas (alleged father #2) Type O; genotype is ii There are 2 DNA bands in the "fingerprint" of each person tested: mother, child, alleged father 1, and alleged father 2. Why are there two bands for each person and not three?arrow_forwardWhich of the following describes the pattern of sex chromosomes in this athlete?

Explain why this is, using the following terms correctly in your discussion: genotype, phenotype, multifactorial trait.arrow_forwardA mother has a child and needs to prove who the father is to get child support.

This notation includes the total number of chromosomes, the sex chromosomes, and any extra or missing autosomal chromosomes. For example, 47, XY, +18 indicates that the patient has 47 chromosomes, is a male, and has an extra autosomal chromosome 18. 46, XX is a female with a normal number of chromosomes. 47, XXY is a patient with an extra sex chromosome.
