HOW DOES DNA FINGERPRINTING WORK?

UNLIKE A FINGERPRINT ON YOUR HAND, YOUR DNA FINGERPRINT CAN BE
FOUND BY JUST DUSTING FOR PRINTS. TO FIND A DNA FINGERPRINT, A
SCIENTIST HAS TO TAKE A NUCLEUS OUT OF A CELL.
ONCE THEY TAKE THE NUCLEUS OUT OF THE CELL, THEY ANALYZE THE
DNA SO THAT YOU CAN FIND TINY DIFFERENCES IN THE DNA OF
DIFFERENT PEOPLE

EARLY USE OF DNA FINGERPRINTING WAS
USED IN LEGAL DISPUTES, TO HELP SOLVE
CRIMES AND DETERMINE PATERNITY
DNA FINGERPRINTING IS STILL USED TODAY
TO HELP SOLVE CRIMES
