Solution

DNA:

  1. It contains genetic information as well as instructions for protein synthesis.
  2. It can be found in nearly all of an organism's cells.
  3. DNA is a key part of reproduction, as it allows genetic heredity to be passed down from parents to offspring.

Fingerprints:

  1. The most fundamental biological function of these friction ridges is to aid in object grasping, but the patterning that appears on our skin is quite different.
  2. The ridge pattern on every human finger is distinct and does not vary with growth or age, fingerprints provide an impenetrable method of personal identification.

DNA is more exact than Fingerprints.
