Point mutation is an error at a particular point on the DNA molecule. Since the changes occur in DNA‚ in order to fix the mutation‚ scientists have to find out where something went wrong in the DNA structure and how to fix it. Technology improved and in recent years‚ we got new skills and we are able to change natural changes of DNA for our profit. It is still being worked on‚ but scientists can do a lot of impressing things with DNA structure now. Point mutations might initiate very dangerous changes

committed a criminal act‚ the most positive means is through fingerprints. When we are born‚ our fingerprints stay with us until we die and our bodies start decomposing. To the human eye our fingerprints look the same‚ however‚ further investigation will show that each of us have a unique set of friction ridges that comprise our fingerprints and sets our identity apart from each other. At a crime scene‚ there are two different types of fingerprints that may be found. Patent prints are visible to the

Premise: We all accept the proven fact that identical twins do not have the same fingerprints. However‚ human clones present a different set of friction skin development issues. No! Studies have concluded that‚ even though the fingerprints of identical twins may be very

In order to understand the advantages and disadvantages of DNA profiling one must have a full understanding of what it is. DNA profiling‚ also referred to as DNA fingerprinting or genetic fingerprinting‚ is the process of identifying an individual by analyzing their DNA samples (body tissues‚ body fluids‚ bone‚ hair). This process did not exist until the mid-1980’s when English Scientist‚ Dr. Alec Jeffreys‚ discovered that DNA contains repetitive patterns that vary from individual to individual
