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.
Another use of DNA fingerprinting is in paternity cases. Since a child receives half of his or her DNA from the mother and the other half from the father, paternity can be established. A DNA fingerprint is obtained from the mother, the child, and the alleged father.
