The DNA sequences below show DNA segments for four different species. DNA SEQUENCES Species A TGG CAA CGG CAG ATT TAG Species B TGG CTA CGG CAG ATT TAG Species C TGC CTA CGG CTG ATT TAG Species D TGG CTA CTG CTG ATT TAG Scientists sometimes use DNA sequences such as these to determine the relatedness of different species. Which of the following is a necessary condition for scientists to use DNA sequences in this way?

I think it's A: the DNA of all organisms contains the same four bases.

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.'
