Chromosomes contain the genetic code that controls inherited traits. Describe the typical set of human chromosomes in each cell in terms of the number of chromosomes and explain what each parent contributes to each set.

Each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. Each parent contribute 23 of their chromosomes to create you.

Explanation:

her next move would be to use agarose gel electrophoresis to separate the dna molecules of varying length and create a dna fingerprint.

ans.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
