Acsi lab is presented with the remains of a man police believe to be the infamous jimmy hoffa. evidence from hoffa’s disappearance many years ago includes some personal effects such as his comb, tooth brush, wallet, and some jewelry. the dna found in the bone marrow of the skeleton is compared to the dna of hairs in the comb that had been preserved over the years. what technique enables scientists to determine if this really is the body of jimmy hoffa?
a)cloning
b)transformation
c)dna fingerprinting
d)reverse transcription

The correct answer is DNA fingerprinting.

DNA fingerprinting is a technique by which the DNA of a person is recognized. Every person in the world is different but their DNA contains a particular set of amino acid sequence which is repeated again and again. This sequence is recognized by the help of DNA fingerprinting. Here, Jimmy Hoffa will have the same sequence in the DNA found on the comb, wallet and jewelry as that of the DNA found in the bone marrow of the skeleton.

So, by using DNA fingerprinting we can can determine that it is the body of Jimmy Hoffa.
