DNA fingerprints (DNA profiling) can show a match between two DNA samples, or a close match, useful in identifying remains, or establishing proof in a criminal investigation or trial. It can also show that a familial relationship exists, as in a paternity test.
A more involved analysis, called full genome sequencing, is used in prenatal testing to reveal chromosomal damage or inherited traits. This can assist in determining susceptibility to birth defects or diseases.

A pattern of bands made up of specific DNA fragments is a?
DNA fingerprint
Are a DNA fingerprint and a genetic fingerprint the same?
no its classed as a making of your body for people such as police or crime scene investigators
Which phrase is true for a DNA fingerprint?
it is a type of restriction map.
Why is DNA fingerprint more conclusive when proving a person's innocence rather than their guilt?
ANS1:Because it is technically possible for more than one person to have a similar DNA fingerprint, but it is impossible for someone to have their DNA fingerprint change. So if your fingerprint is:XXYYXYXAnd the guilty persons DNA is:XXXXYYYIt is impossible for you to be the guilty person. But, it is possible that my DNA fingerprint is also XXXXYYY - so please don't commit any crimes near my house or I might get nailed for it.ANS2:DNA fingerprinting always has a margin of error. The error can introduce reasonable doubt. Guilt in a capital case must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
Is a fingerprint better than DNA?
Both identify a person, the DNA more conclusively because fingerprints are often smeared or partials. A fingerprint has one advantage over DNA if it can be classified as where and when it was made, which can establish a person's presence in a given circumstance. For example, if a fingerprint is in the blood on a weapon, it could only have been made after the blood was there.

How is a DNA FINGERPRINT PRODUCES?
Selected fragments are used to produce a DNA fingerprint.
What does DNA fingerprint shows?
A DNA fingerprint refers to the fact that a person's DNA code is as unique to that person as his/her fingerprint. A person can be implicated for a crime or ruled out as the criminal based on his/her DNA code.
What is a DNA fingerprint who can have the same DNA fingerprint as yours?
A DNA fingerprint is really all the genes that are found in in your chromosomes. No two are ever alike except for identical twins (or triplets).
When comparing the DNA fingerprints of a parent and child the parent's DNA fingerprint must have?
DNA bands that match those in the child's fingerprint and that aren't from the other parent.
Can DNA be taken from a fingerprint?
yes
What is DNA fingerprint for?

What does a DNA fingerprint look like?
A DNA fingerprint could appear in a few different ways depending on it's use. Sometimes a DNA fingerprint just appears as a series of lines on a square board.
How can DNA fingerprinting establish paternity?
The DNA fingerprint of the father is compared with that of the child. If he is the true father, half of the bands on the child's DNA fingerprint will match with the father's, because the father provides half of the child's DNA.
