What is the primary purpose of DNA fingerprinting?

Identifying individuals based on their unique DNA patterns

Creating genetically modified organisms

Which of the following technologies is MOST commonly used in DNA fingerprinting?

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

They are short, repeating sequences of DNA that vary in length between individuals; they are used to create a unique DNA profile.

They are long sequences of DNA that code for specific proteins; they help identify genetic diseases.

They are short, repeating sequences of DNA that vary in length between individuals; they are used to create a unique DNA profile.

They are segments of DNA that are only found in criminals; they provide direct evidence of guilt.

They are sequences that are identical in all humans; they confirm that a sample is human DNA.

To cut DNA at specific sequences

To separate DNA fragments based on size
