Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The position of the DNA bands in the gel can be used to make a judgment about maternity. This is because the DNA bands represent different alleles at specific loci, and the positions of the bands are determined by the lengths of the fragments generated by the restriction enzymes used in the analysis. A mother and child should share DNA bands at certain loci, and the positions of the bands should match, indicating a maternal relationship.
