DNA strands when travelling through the gel are positively charged.
Dr. Kary Mullis invented the _________________ techniqued, for which he shared the Nobel Prize in 1993.
DNA is known as ________________________ evidence.
________________________ enzymes are used to cut DNA into smaller pieces at specific location sites.
In most criminal cases, ____________________ different probes are used in the DNA fingerprinting process.
A child inherits ___________ genes for each trait
All criminals have their DNA uploaded into the national DNA database.
In the U.S. Combined DNA Index System(____________)
Databases are updated when perpetrators are convicted of:
First step in preparing a sample for DNA fingerprinting is to _____________ the DNA from the cell nucleus.
DNA can be used:
DNA analysis allows even a small sample of ______________ to be identified with a single individual.
DNA contains, in non-coding regions called _______________ DNA, many repeated sequences that vary in number between individuals.
DNA evidence must be collected carefully to avoid ___________________ with other DNA.
One well contains a control, a solution containing DNA fragments of known lengths called a __________________ or Standard DNA
Electrophoresis is complete when the DNA fragments have ______________________ through the gel.
Therefore, when viewing a DNA fingerprint, we identify specific DNA sequences by using __________________ probes.
An ________________________ light source can then be used to cause the DNA to fluoresce so the bands of the fingerprint are visible.
The ____________ the number of probes used on a DNA fingerprint, the greater the accuracy of the DNA fingerprint.
