Question

I need some help with this fill-in-the-blank problem. The answer choices are bolded and bracketed. Please see the attached photo to complete. 

 

1. In the D2S441 locus, Sophie's allele [10, 12] is maternal and her allele 10 is paternal from [Sam or Bill only, Sam or Harry only, Bill or Harry only, Sam Bill or Harry (either 3)].

2. Sophie's allele 13 for D19S433 is [maternal, paternal] and her allele 14 could have come from [Sam and Bill only, Sam and Harry only, Bill and Harry only, Sam Bill or Harry (either 3)].

3. In the FGA locus, Sophie's allele [21, 22] is maternal and her other allele could have come only from [Sam, Bill, Harry].

4. Based on all STRs in the 3 panels we studied, it is clear that [Sam, Bill, Harry] is Sophie's father. He has one allele of Sophie's alleles for all STR loci

5. Would these results stand in court as proof paternity: [Yes or No]

6. This type of DNA profiling can also be used to determine maternity. Is there any doubt that Donna is Sophie's biological mother? See if Donna has at least one allele in common with Sophie for all loci. Donna [is, is not] Sophie's biologfical mother!
