coenzymes are organic molecules that are required by certain enzymes to carry out catalysis. They bind to the active site of the enzyme and participate in catalysis but are not considered substrates of the reaction.
2. List two situations where DNA fingerprinting is useful. DNA fingerprints can be used for determining a biological mother or father, identifying thesuspect of a crime, or clearing someone's name for a crime they were mistakenly accused orconvicted.
Perhaps the most significant advance in criminal investigation since the advent of fingerprint identification is the use of DNA technology to help convict criminals or eliminate persons as suspects.
