Awoman has a mitochondrially-inherited autosomal dominant type of muscular dystrophy. she and her husband wish to conceive a healthy child that will have heritable characteristics of both parents, but will not have the the muscle disorder. describe a plausible way in which the parents' wishes might be realized.

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.'

d. organisms have cells with different shapes and functions.
