Question

DNA profiling is also called DNA fingerprinting. A common misconception about DNA fingerprinting is that the analysis has to do with actual fingerprints. Explain one similarity and one difference between a human being’s pattern of bands on an electrophoresis gel and a human fingerprint.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: Electrophoresis displays the entire DNA sequence, whereas fingerprinting allows you to quickly identify someone. But they have one thing in common: they are both so distinctive that it is nearly impossible for two persons to have the same fingerprint/DNA sequence.
