Information
- Description
- DNA profiling is also known as DNA fingerprinting. It is a method of making a unique pattern of bands from the DNA of a person. This flashcard deck focuses on DNA profiling and the method of preparing a DNA profile. It would appeal to anyone studying intermediate level biology.
