Step 1
This method relies on the analysis of specific regions of DNA that are highly variable among individuals. These regions are often composed of repetitive DNA sequences, which are also known as satellite DNA. Bulk DNA refers to the entire DNA content of an Show more…

DNA fingerprinting, which is often used in forensics, paternity testing, and for establishing ancestry: a. compares one stretch of the same DNA between two or more people. b. measures different lengths of DNA from many repeating noncoding regions. c. requires the largest DNA lengths to run the greatest distance on a gel. d. requires amplification after the gels are run. e. can easily differentiate DNA between identical twins.
In DNA fingerprinting, $a$ a positive identification can be made. $b$. a gel blot is all that is required. $c .$ multiple restriction digests generate unique fragments. $d$. the polymerase chain reaction amplifies finger DNA $e .$ the variability of repeated sequences between two restriction sites is evaluated.
