Discussion Post #5: Response to DNA Samples
please write a response to the following post:
DNA Fingerprinting was invented in 1984 by Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys, it is a chemical test that shows how things or humans are created and their genetic makeup. It is used for a wide variety of things like to find your relatives, it's used for evidence in court, to identify bodies, and used to conduct experiments for cures for diseases. There are a lot of positive things to come out of DNA Fingerprinting as if there was a murder, and there were fingerprints found on the body, they can look those fingerprints up in a database. If it happened to be a known criminal the prints would already be in the system and they would match. In the same scenario, if the body was found and it was not recognizable, they could use DNA Fingerprints to find that person, all you need is a small amount of DNA left behind to identify someone.
I will attach my initial discussion post.

This is a difficult one to elaborate unless we dig on the advanced knowledge in genetics. From research, I found out that they do a differential analysis of samples from different individuals. Do you think this would be accurate?
With the advancement of technology, I am sure the results from DNA tests are useful in court cases. My concern is about the extent to which the samples can be used to execute judgment in a court trial. As far as I read, DNA material...
