DNA Profiling
DNA Profiling: which can also be referred to as DNA fingerprinting, is the process of determining an individual's DNA characteristics, which are unique like fingerprints. DNA profiling is a forensic technique that is used in criminal investigations and can also be used in parentage testing. In addition, it can also be used in the study of animal and plant populations in the fields of zoology, botany and agriculture.
