27 Jun 2008, 3:14 PM  | How much detail for DNA fingerprinting? You can hide this advertisement by registering. How much detail do we have to know for "- outline the use of highly variable genes for DNA fingerprinting of forensic samples, for paternity testing and for determining the pedigree of animals" In some textbooks (Jacaranda) there is an insane amount, while in the Heinemann it seems to only give barebones.

25 Aug 2009, 4:56 PM | Re: How much detail for DNA fingerprinting? Well outline is main points of. So I would just highlight the main points... * DNA fingerprinting involves comparing DNA patterns of different fragments from different individuals. Identical patterns of fragment size suggest identical sources of DNA. If enough identical DNA sequences are found, then identification can be determined. Skin, hair or blood cells are frequently used. This is used in forensic science to match blood from suspects at a crime scene, to determine the paternity of a baby, and to determine the pedigree or lineage of individual animals where more than one mating is made. * By selecting desirable genes rather than phenotypes, animals and plants can be produced with the preferred characteristics. Examples of these characteristics include disease resistance in certain crops and fish, tolerance of extreme environmental conditions, meat from cattle with low fat. That is about all you would need to know... |

and a BASIC idea of HOW it works (i.e. comparing bands in 2 DNA samples) other than that, screw it going any further is like doctor stuff lol | |

15 Oct 2009, 6:18 PM | Re: How much detail for DNA fingerprinting? We were told to know that VNTRs are the parts of a person's genome that actually vary; you have to realise that about 99.9% of human DNA is identical from one person to another. The differences - which are the parts used for fingerprinting - are concentrated in the VNTRs. Oh, and VNTR stands for variable number tandem repeat, I think.

9 Jan 2008, 9:23 PM | Re: How much detail for DNA fingerprinting? I was just totally stressing out about this dot point. Are you sure we dont have to know about elctrophoresis, restriction enzymes and flourescent/radiactive probes?!   |

19 Nov 2009, 4:09 AM | Re: How much detail for DNA fingerprinting? In terms of details, its best to confirm with different Biology Teachers, because the syllabus can be interpreted differently. elctrophoresis, restriction enzymes and flourescent/radiactive probes? That material I believe is perhaps heading more into the university arena. But knowing more is much better than less. All those 3 are quite simple actually, the Fluorescent probes are exactly what its name suggests.
