DNA Identification of Individuals is Possible Because Due to Differences

Question

DNA identification of individuals is possible because due to differences in DNA sequence,
A)the same restriction enzyme cuts different individuals' DNA in different places.
B)a different restriction enzyme is needed to cut each person's DNA.
C)a different species of bacteria is needed to create a DNA probe for each person.
D)DNA probes hybridize with different genes in different people.

Accepted Answer

The differences in DNA sequence between individuals result in different DNA fragments being produced when their DNA is cut with the same restriction enzyme. This allows for the creation of a unique DNA fingerprint for each individual, which can be used for identification purposes.
