Applications of DNA Fingerprinting
● DNA fingerprinting is widely used in forensics since every DNA of every
tissue from an individual has the same degree of polymorphism.
● DNA fingerprinting forms the basis of paternity testing since a child
inherits polymorphism from both its parents.
● It can be used for studying genetic diversity in a population and
evolution.
