Explanation: DNA profiling can be used in old or unsolved crimes or to identify human remains. The availability of parental DNA samples might allow identification of a body when conventional means (physical appearances, dermatoglyphic fingerprints, dental charts) have been unsuccessful.
DNA fingerprinting is a chemical test that shows the genetic makeup of a person or other living things. It's used as evidence in courts, to identify bodies, track down blood relatives, and to look for cures for disease.
The process can be used to identify potential suspects and link suspects to a crime, proving they were at a certain place. DNA profiling also enhances the criminal system's accuracy.
