Rosalind Franklin was unable to calculate the dimensions of the DNA molecule.

False
The DNA profile of each individual is highly specific. The chances of two people having exactly the same
DNA profile is 30,000 million to 1 (except for identical twins). Given a set of DNA profiles in figure 3,
determine who the father is in a paternity case.
The Case:
Missis De Los Santos has a daughter who is in need of a liver transplant. Unfortunately, Mrs. De Los
Santos was ruled out as a donor. She was asked to ask if her daughter's father could also go for a check-up
for donor compatibility. Mrs. De Los Santos believes one of two men is her daughter's father. Who
between the men is the daughter's father? Determine who the father in the case is by comparing the DNA
profiles of the persons involved in the case. At the end of your profiling activity, you will know that you
have correctly figured out who the father is if you have accounted where all the DNA markers of the
daughter came from.
