Answer:

nonsense mutation

Explanation:

In DNA, the uracil (U) is replaced by thymine (T). If a change in the DNA sequence, or mutation, of a gene occurs that creates a stop codon, this is called a nonsense mutation.

Nonsense mutations
Nonsense mutations occur when a codon that is supposed to specify an amino acid is changed to a stop codon instead. This results in a protein that is shorter than normal because it cannot finish adding all the necessary amino acids. In DNA, the uracil (U) is replaced by thymine (T). If a change in the DNA sequence, or mutation, of a gene occurs that creates a stop codon, this is called a nonsense mutation. A nonstop mutation is a change in the sequence of a stop codon that turns it into a codon that specifies an amino acid.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Both types of fingerprints can often be easy to obtain from the crime scene.

DNA fingerprinting is a technique used for a paternity test and in establishing a link between the biological evidence and suspect in the crime, identification of dead bodies et cetera.

It is based on the similarities and differences associated with the DNA sequence of organisms especially the non-coding or junk DNA.

The DNA fingerprints are developed in labs, they are not found at crime scenes.

At the crime scene, pieces of biological evidence such as blood, skin, hair et cetera are taken from which DNA could be extracted.
