| Front | Uses of genetic fingerprints |
|---|---|
| Back | Determining genetic relationships- we inherit VNTR base sequences from parents, the more bands that match on a genetic fingerprint the more closely related two people are. Can be used in paternity test to determine the biological father of a child Determining genetic variability within a population- the greater number of bands that don't match on a genetic fingerprint the more genetically different people are. You can compare the number of repeats at several places in the genome for a population to find out how genetically varied that population is. |
