What is a primary application of obtaining a small amount of a person's DNA?
A
It immediately reveals all phenotypic traits of the individual.
B
It enables the direct synthesis of proteins without further processing.
C
It allows for genetic identification, such as in forensic analysis.
D
It can be used to determine the exact age of the person.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that obtaining a small amount of a person's DNA provides a unique genetic fingerprint that can be used for identification purposes.
Recognize that DNA contains sequences that vary greatly between individuals, making it a powerful tool for distinguishing one person from another.
Know that this genetic identification is commonly applied in forensic analysis to match DNA samples from crime scenes to potential suspects.
Be aware that DNA analysis does not directly reveal all phenotypic traits immediately, as many traits are influenced by complex gene interactions and environmental factors.
Understand that DNA cannot be used to determine a person's exact age or to synthesize proteins directly without additional biological processes.
