How could the research group determine whether a homologous gene for blight resistance exists in the human genome?

Hi everyone. Let's look at this next question. Which one is not an application of the DNA fingerprinting technique. So DNA fingerprinting involves sequencing different fragments of an individual's D. N. A. And looking for or looking at the unique regions of the human genome that are different from individual to individual. So with that in mind let's look at our answer choices. Choice A says identification of faulty genes. Well this is an application of DNA fingerprinting technique because you could look for a specific gene um to see to look for and I identify faulty genes that might be passed through in families. So this is an application of those techniques. So that's not our answer choice B says identification of fossils. Well this is also an application of DNA fingerprinting technique because it can help you look at the relatedness between different types of fossils. So that choice be cannot be our answer. Since it is it is an application of this technique. Choice C says solving parentage disputes. This is definitely a very common application of this technique because those regions of DNA that vary among individuals are inherited. You can look at those individual regions that vary to see inheritance from the two parents so that cannot their answer. Finally, we're down to choice D. Which is producing identical identical copies of organisms. Well this is not an application of DNA fingerprinting. This is cloning. So since we're looking for the thing that's not an application, choice D producing identical copies of organisms is not an application of the DNA fingerprinting technique. That process is cloning. See you in the next video.
