By comparing DNA fingerprints of the unknown to the known Samples are created by gel electrophoresis

also called DNA testing, DNA typing, or DNA profiling is a technique used to distinguish between individuals of the same species using only samples of their DNA

Separat e DNA Isolate DNA Using a lysis solution and a warm water bath Using an ultracentrifuge (separated based on density) Using forms of alcohol to clump DNA Process of removing DNA from cells received from samples of blood, skin, semen, etc.

piece of equipment, generally driven by a motor, that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle where the centripetal acceleration is used to separate substances of greater and lesser density

Process in which DNA is “cut” by restriction enzymes into fragments Restriction Enzymes are enzymes that cut DNA at SPECIFIC sequences of nucleotides.

is a technique used for the separation of DNA, RNA, or protein molecules using an electric current applied to a gel matrix, based on their size and electric charge Gel electrophoresis gel animation

To determine differences in the genomes of different plant and animal species The number and positions of the bands formed on each lane of gel is the actual DNA fingerprint and is unique to each person
