A sample of DNA is taken from blood of saliva. PCR makes lots of copies, or amplifies the DNA. We then add restriction enzymes to cut the DNA at palindrome sequences. We then run the DNA through gel Elecrophoresis. Each person has unique short tandem repeats that cause a unique number of cuts by the restriction enzyme. These cuts are separated by size on gel electrophoresis, so no two people have the exact same pattern. We can compare individuals banding patterns to what is found at a crime scene, taken in previous samples, in a baby, and the sample that matches all the banding patterns will be the individual.

Anna11 [10]

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Capillaries, the littlest and generally various of the veins, structure the association between the vessels that divert blood from the heart (supply routes) and the vessels that return blood to the heart (veins).

Explanation:

Capillaries, the littlest and generally various of the veins, structure the association between the vessels that divert blood from the heart (supply routes) and the vessels that return blood to the heart (veins). The essential capacity of capillaries is the trading of materials between the blood and tissue cells.  

Blood vessels a cylindrical organization all through the body that permits blood to spill out of the heart to each body cell and afterward back to the heart. The three kinds of veins are corridors, vessels, and veins. Each vein comprises of a layered divider encompassing a focal blood-containing space, or lumen.
