Detailed explanation-1: -DNA fingerprinting is used in a variety of situations, such as criminal investigations, other forensic purposes and paternity testing. In these situations, one aims to “match” two DNA fingerprints with one another, such as a DNA sample from a known person and one from an unknown person.
Detailed explanation-2: -In forensic science, it is used to identify prospective criminal suspects. To prove paternity and establish familial ties. To identify and protect the commercial crop and livestock types. To figure out an organism’s evolutionary history and the relationships between different groupings of species.
