I believe this is done to ensure accuracy. DNA paternity testing involves the use of DNA profiling to determine whether two individuals are biologically parent and a child. The test establishes genetic proof whether a man is the biological father of the individual in question. There is need for use of more than one loci probes to make sure there is no error and that the results are 100% accurate.

Answer:

There is the application of more than one single locus probe in the actual paternity test as one receives half of the genetic substances from the mother and half from the father. There is more than one probe that is needed to examine both parent's identity.

Or it can be said that the locus probes are utilized to determine various intervening repetitive sequences of DNA that are situated in different chromosomes and leads to the production of 30 and 20 bands, thus, one can avoid the chances of a similar pattern due to multi-band patterns.

Answer:

<u>All the substrates are bound to the enzyme</u>, thats why the reaction rate stopped increasing.

Explanation:

Actually an enzyme works by binding a substrate molecule to its active site, producing a product , resulting in an increase in the rate of reaction.

Enzyme + substrate = Enzyme + product

Whenever enzymes are added , reaction rate increases as the substrates are being bound to the enzyme's active sites but then occurs a stage where further addition of enzyme cannot increase the reaction rate because all the substrates have bound to the enzyme and <u>there are no substrates left.</u> Hence the reaction rate stopped increasing.
