Question

An identical twin commits a crime for which DNA evidence is collected. Do you think it is possible to use DNA fingerprinting to determine which twin did it? Explain. 6. 7. Explain why the phrase "molecular scissors" is an apt descriptor for restriction enzymes. Evolution Connection Different parts of the human genome evolve at different rates. Parts of the human genome that code for important traits tend to evolve more slowly than areas that do not code for critical traits. Which areas do you think would be ideal for DNA fingerprinting? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

6. There will be a lot of difficulty in finding that. Only a forensic research expert can tell that. Because there will be very little difference between their DNA fingerprints.

7. Because restriction enzymes cut at specific restriction sites in the DNA.

Parts which which do not code for more critical traits will be identical for DNA fingerprinting.
