DNA Fingerprinting
	   DNA is the genetic material found  within the cell nucleus of all living things.In mammals the strands of DNA are grouped  into structures called chromosomes.With the exception  of identical siblings(as in identical twins),the  complete DNA of each individual is unique. 
   DNA fingerprinting is sometimes called DNA  typing.It is a  method of identification that compares bits of DNA.A  DAN fingerprint is constructed by first drawing out a DNA sample from body  tissue or fluid such as hair,blood,or saliva.The sample is then segmented using  enzymes,and the segments are arranged by size.The segments are marked with probes and exposed on X—ray film,where they form a pattern of black bars—the DNA fingerprint.If the DNA fingerprints produced from two different samples match,the two samples probably came from the same person. 
   DNA fingerprinting was first developed as  all identification technique in 1985.Originally used to detect the presence of  genetic diseases,it soon came to be used in criminal  investigations and legal affairs.The first criminal  conviction based on DNA evidence in the United States occurred in l988.In criminal investigations,DNA fingerprints  derived from evidence collected at the crime scene are compared to the DNA  fingerprints of suspects.Generally,coups have accepted the reliability of DNA testing and admitted DNA  test results into evidence.However,DNA fingerprinting is controversial in a number of areas:the accuracy of the results,the cost  oftestin9,and the possible misuse of the technique. 
   The accuracy of DNA fingerprinting has been  challenged for several reasons.First,because DNA segments rather than  complete DNA strands are “fingerprinted”;a DNA  fingerprint may not be unique;large—scale research to  confirm the uniqueness of DNA fingerprinting test results has not been  conducted.In addition,DNA  fingerprinting is often done in private laboratories that may not follow  uniform testing standards and quality controls.Also,since human beings must interpret the test,human  error could lead to false results. 
   DNA fingerprinting is expensive.Suspects who are unable to  provide their own DNA to experts may not be able to successfully defend  themselves against charges based on DNA evidence. 
   Widespread use of DNA testing for  identification purposes may lead to the establishment of a DNA fingerprint  database. 
If two sisters are  identical twins.their complete DNAs are _________. 
                    
                        A . is costly to the police
B . could be a social issue
C . 1s the only way to prove  innocence
D . has been a profitable  business
                    
● 参考解析
                            从第五段可以推断出DNA指纹_________
A.对警察来说成本昂贵 B.可能是一个社会争议的问题C.是证明清白的唯一方式 D.是个获利的行业 
【解 析】推断题。第五段首句就提到DNA指纹颇为昂贵,接着又举例论证这种昂贵情况带来的某种后果,故A是正确答案。
