In DNA fingerprinting, the products of PCR are cut by restriction enzymes into unique lengths. The fragments are then

A) subjected to fluorescent dyes and visualized under an electron microscope.
B) separated according to their relative positive and negative charges.
C) separated according to their lengths.
D) arranged into a karyotype.
E) used to produce the genes that give the individual a unique set of fingerprints.

DNA Fingerprinting

A technique used to identify individuals based on unique patterns of their DNA, commonly used in forensics, paternity testing, and genetic testing.

PCR

Polymerase Chain Reaction, a laboratory technique used to amplify DNA sequences, making millions of copies of a specific DNA section.

Restriction Enzymes

Proteins used in molecular biology that cut DNA at specific sequences, important for DNA modification and analysis tasks.
