Solely by this method, it is not possible. Several other additional DNA testing must be preformed if there isn't the mother's DNA.
The mother's DNA serves to make sure that all the resulting parts from the father's DNA can be completed by the mother's DNA when matching it all with the child's DNA. For this method, the child's DNA is "cut" in specific sites by r<span>estriction enzymes. This restriction enzymes are put to "cut" also the mother's DNA and the father's DNA. It is expected that all the resulting segments from the child's DNA can be found either on the mother's side or the father's side. All segments that can be matched to the mother's DNA segments, should be matched to the father's DNA segments. That's why the mother's DNA is so important for this method.</span>

How does deforestation affect the water cycle? A. It increases the amount of percolation. B. It increases the amount of transpir
netineya [11]
The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.
