A forensics expert has obtained a sample of human blood from a crime scene. How can DNA fingerprinting be useful for identifying the person who left the blood at the crime scene?

A by identifying the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA of blood cells
B. by comparing DNA from the blood cells with DNA from suspects
C. by identifying certain genetically controlled traits of suspects, such as eye shape and blood type
D. by comparing karyotypes made from blood cells at the crime scene and blood cells from suspects

B - by comparing DNA from the blood cells with DNA from suspects!

Explanation:

DNA fingerprinting is a laboratory technique used to establish a link between biological evidence and a suspect in a criminal investigation.

A DNA sample taken from a crime scene is compared with a DNA sample from a suspect.

If the two DNA profiles are a match, then the evidence came from that suspect. (from www.genome.gov )

Hope this helps! :]

B

Explanation:

B

interphase   is the cell cycle stage in which the cell acquires nutrients, creates and uses proteins and other molecules and starts the process of cell division by replicating the dna. it is the longest stage in the eukaryote cell cycle.

the following   can go wrong during interphase:   a base pair could be mismatched during the duplication process causing a mutation.   correct answer: c
