Dna Suggest Profiling Answer Questions Identity Situations Forensics

DNA profiling is used in various situations, including forensics (comparing samples to suspects or DNA databases), paternity tests (often in immigration cases), and identifying individuals at risk for diseases (by associating microsatellite patterns with increased disease risk).

Część DNA jest wykorzystywana w różnych sytuacjach, takich jak kryminalistyka (porównywanie próbek z podejrzanymi lub bazą danych DNA), testy na ojcostwo (często w sprawach imigracyjnych) oraz identyfikacja osób z ryzykiem chorób (poprzez powiązania między wzorcami mikrosatelitów a zwiększonym ryzykiem choroby).

Front Suggest how DNA profiling can be used to answer questions about identity in different situations.
Back Uses of DNA profiling:
  • Forensics  - samples of blood, semen, saliva, hair roots, skin cells have DNA extracted & compared with a suspect/with the criminal DNA database
  • Paternity tests - often used in immigration cases
  • Identifying individuals at risk of particular disease - its been found tha somemicrosatellite patterns are associated with increased risk/incidence of diseases
