Answer
How could you tell who was the father of
each of the puppies in the DNA Pawprints activity?
$500 Answer from Genetics!You are able to match the puppies to the
correct father in the DNA pawprints activity by using the DNA fingerprinting.
DNA samples from each dog were sliced into fragments and separated according to size with an electric current. The samples were then marked with a radioactive tag, and an
X-ray was taken of them to reveal the DNA fingerprint. Each young dog’s DNA fingerprint could then be compared with DNA fingerprints of Bella and each possible father to
determine the heredity of each young dog.
