Do these two different individuals share any bands of the same length? Why might this be the case?
Yes. Each band is represented in a certain percentage of the population, so even unrelated individuals have a few bands in common. No. No two individuals have bands of the same length on a DNA profile. Yes, but only because one DNA sample must have been contaminated with the other sample. Yes. The two individuals are siblings.Explanation / Answer
These are correct answers
Yes. Each band is represented in a certain percentage of the population, so even unrelated individuals have a few bands in common.
Yes. The two individuals are siblings.
Because:
Band-sharing means the proportion of bands shared between two individuals when they have some common characteristics.
May be two unrelated individuals have some common characteristics, so there some bands are same.
Siblings can have common characteristics, so they also show some bands of same length.
These are not correct answers
No. No two individuals have bands of the same length on a DNA profile.
Yes, but only because one DNA sample must have been contaminated with the other sample.
Because:
Two individuals have some common characteristics as DNA is same in all individuals but difference is in their expressions. So two individuals can have bands of the same length on a DNA profile.
Yes, this can be true but not only is correct word. As one DNA sample must have been contaminated with the other sample then they can show same band length.
