Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
DNA or genetic fingerprinting relies on the principle that no two individuals share the same genetic code except for identical twins. DNA fingerprinting uses the pattern of DNA fragments caused by specific enzymes to identify individual organisms: humans, other animals, plants or any other organism with DNA. DNA fingerprinting is useful in paternity analysis, criminal cases, and many studies of ecology and evolution.
