The identification of individuals from the unique sequence of their DNA

Real World Example

Imagine trying to identify your luggage at a crowded airport carousel, where every suitcase looks almost identical except for a few unique stickers or tags. Similarly, DNA fingerprinting identifies individuals by focusing on specific parts of their DNA that are unique, just like those distinguishing tags on your suitcase. Just as each suitcase might have a unique combination of stickers, each person has a unique sequence of DNA, allowing scientists to match or differentiate between individuals with precision.
