1. “DNA fingerprinting” is a recently-introduced biochemical procedure that uses a pattern derived from a person’s genetic material to match a suspect’s genetic material against that of a specimen from a crime scene. Proponents have claimed astronomically high odds against obtaining a match by chance alone. These odds are based on an assumption that there is independence between the different characteristics represented by a single pattern.
Which one of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the claim of the proponents of DNA fingerprinting?
Answer: in the whole population there are various different subgroups, within each of which certain sets of genetic characteristics are shared.
My answer: There is a generally accepted theoretical basis for interpreting the patterns produced by the procedure.作者: cook 时间: 2002-11-16 03:21
Key: break the bridge,that" an assumption that there is independence between the different characteristics represented by a single pattern."
