Use of DNA fingerprinting in crime
DNA fingerprinting can be used to investigate
crimes when bodily fluid or blood is still there
and if there is no visual identification, they
use the blood and the fluids to identify who
the people are. The first use of DNA
fingerprinting for crimes was first used during
the 1980s. They got the idea of using DNA
fingerprinting in crimes when they realized
that in most crimes there is blood or their
bodily fluids so if there is blood, they are able
to find who it is. DNA fingerprinting works
on the basis that each individual's DNA
structure or genetic makeup is unique and
therefore cannot be forged, faked, or use
someone else's print. With the blood or any
other bodily fluid, the blood can be tested and
a identity can be seen with the blood.
Process of DNA fingerprinting
DNA fingerprinting is used in isolating and
identifying the elements within the
base-pairing sequence of DNA. This
operation was created in 1984 by Alec
Jeffereys, a british geneticist. He noticed that
certain sequences of highly variable DNA
which do not contribute to the function of
genes are repeated within genes. With that
notice, he developed this process of DNA
fingerprinting. Jefferys then realized that each
person has a unique pattern of minisatellites
which is also DNA. But, there is one
exception of being identical twins. The
process of creating a DNA fingerprint
consists of capturing all sample of cells, skin,
hair, or blood cells, which all contain DNA.
The DNA is extracted from these cells and
gets purified. Next, restriction enzymes cuts
the DNA into smaller pieces at a specific
sequence, which makes and produces blunt
ends or sticky ends, which results in
fragments of different sizes. Those fragments
are called restriction fragments length
polymorphisms, and RFLP. The RFLPs are
then put into a agarose gel. After that, it
transfers to the membrane and probe pairs
with free nucleotides and they cover up the
membrane. The gel is covered up by a paper
towel and nylon to absorb moisture. Next, the
probes pair up with any DNA fragments with
the same composition. The next and final step
is to place a photographic film on the surface
of the nylon. The probes then leave marks in
which it shows the fingerprint.
Other uses of DNA fingerprint

DNA fingerprint can be also be used in

finding family members and searching for any
relatives. Every person has a VNTR which is
a pattern that is inherited from your parents.
Also, DNA fingerprint can detect diseases by
identifying the organisms of a disease such
ascystic fibrosis, hemophilia, Huntingtons
disease, and many more. If found at a early
age, treatment can be used to fight off the
disease.
Addictive behaviors

Something that has become the major focus

on ones life that is physically or mentally
harmful to themselves is known as addictive
behaviors. Some examples of things most
people get addictive behaviors from are drugs
such as, weed, heroin, meth, which makes
you high and harms yourself mentally. It is
thought that these behavior activities may
produce beta-endorphins in the brain, which
makes the person feel high. Also, alchohol
and sex is some other addictive behaviors.
when someone is addicted, leads to negative
behaviors socially and mentally. Addictive
behaviors can also lead to health problems.

Characteristics of Addictive behaviors

1. The person becomes obsessed with the

object, activity, or substance.
2. He/she will seek it out, or engage in the
behavior although it is causing problems.
3. The person constantly does it and cannot
stop what they are doing.
4. They crave and face depression
5. The person does not appear to have control as
to when, how long, or how much he or she will
continue the behavior
6. He/she does not accept their problems
resulting from his/her engagement in the
behavior, even though others can see the
negative effects.
7. Person avoids family or close friends have
mentioned their concern.
8. Many individuals with addictive behaviors
don't remember anything theyve done for the
time they were engaging in the behavior
