DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.
DNA fingerprinting was invented in 1984 by Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys .DNA fingerprinting is a method used to identify an individual from a sample of DNA by looking at unique patterns in their DNA.about 99.9 per cent of the DNA between two humans is the same.
applications-
1.In forensic science to identify potential crime suspects.
2.In establishing paternity and family relationships
3.for identifying and protecting the commercial varieties of crops and livestock.

Answer:
DNA fingerprinting is a technique used to identify and analyze the variations in various individuals at the level of DNA. It is based on variability and polymorphism in DNA sequences.
Application
(1) It is used in forensic science to identify potential crime suspects.
(2) It is used to establish paternity and family relationships.
(3) It is used to identify and protect the commercial varieties of crops and livestock.
(4) It is used to find out the evolutionary history of an organism and trace out the linkages between groups of various organisms.
