The technique of DNA fingerprinting has been used to identify people in crime, accidents, and family relationships. To analyze the DNA of members of the same family, it is necessary to examine samples of their tissues for:
Correct answer: C. Similarities in nucleotide base pairs
- A. Similarities in the nucleotide uracil
- B. Similarities in the deoxyribose sugar
- C. Similarities in nucleotide base pairs
- D. RNA differences
Explanation
Similarities in the nucleotide base pairs is the correct answer. Uracil is not related to DNA and is a nucleotide of RNA.The structure of deoxyribose sugar is the same in all.
