Answer:

1. Which baby belongs to the Meanys?

Baby 3 belongs to Meanys because in the DNA profiling method, their DNA bands matched with the second baby.

2. Which baby belongs to the Glicks?

Baby 1 belong to Glicks because in the DNA profiling method their DNA bands matched with the second baby.

3. Which baby belongs to the Moes?

Baby 2 belong to Moes because in the DNA profiling method their DNA bands matched with the second baby.

4. Is it possible for a child to have a DNA band that is not found in the

mother's DNA? Explain your answer.

Yes, it is possible for a child to have a DNA band that is not found in the

mother's DNA.

Explanation: It is possible because in the DNA of the baby, 50% of the baby's genome is likely to be recombinant due to crossing over occuring between the maternal and paternal chromosomes.

As a result, this recombinant DNA is the complete new DNA and non-identical from the parents.
