The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the uses of DNA fingerprinting, we will analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding DNA Fingerprinting**: - DNA fingerprinting is a molecular technique developed by Alec Jeffries. It is used to identify individuals based on their unique DNA profiles. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - Option A states that DNA fingerprinting can be used to solve cases of disputed paternity and maternity. - This is true because DNA fingerprinting can establish biological relationships, making it a valuable tool in paternity and maternity disputes. 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - Option B mentions that DNA fingerprinting is used for criminal identification and forensics. - This is also true, as DNA fingerprinting is widely utilized in criminal investigations to match suspects with biological evidence found at crime scenes. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - Option C states that DNA fingerprinting can be used for personal identification. - This is correct as well, since DNA profiles are unique to individuals and can be used for various identification purposes beyond criminal cases. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - Option D claims that more than one option is correct. - Since we have established that options A, B, and C are all valid uses of DNA fingerprinting, this option is also correct. 6. **Conclusion**: - Since options A, B, and C are all correct, the best answer to the question is option D: More than one option is correct. ### Final Answer: **(d) More than one option is correct.**
