DNA fingerprinting in forensic science relies on
A) the great variability of DNA in non-coding regions.
B) random fragmentation of DNA by restriction enzymes.
C) being able to amplify small amounts of DNA to produce useful quantities for analysis.
D) the great variability of DNA in non-coding regions and being able to amplify small amounts of DNA to produce useful quantities for analysis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA fingerprinting in forensic science utilizes the variability in non-coding regions of DNA, which are highly individual-specific, and employs techniques like PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to amplify these small amounts of DNA to quantities sufficient for analysis.
