HLA

Only antigens expressed by the ___ or ____ loci are considered for relationship testing with non-DNA based typing

A or B

_________ refers to polymorphisms of the DNA that can be detected by restriction enzymes; relate to the presence of ________.

RFLP; VNTR

STRs have repeats that are _________ bp long

4-5

STR present on the ____ chromosome can verify only male lineage

Y

______________ can only verify maternal lineage

mitochondrial DNA

The term ________ is used when the bands between the child and the AF do not match

mismatch

a minumum of ____ mismatches is required before an opinion of nonpaternity is rendered

2

A _____________________ occurs when a marker is detected in the child and is absent in the mother and the AF or when the AF's phenotype demonstrates two markers and the child has neither of them

direct exclusion

An ___________________ occurs when a single marker is detected in the child and a different single marker is detected in the alleged father

indirect exclusion

False indirect exclusions occur secondary to the presence of ________ alleles

silent

In which genetic system is the allele frequency distribution continuous?

DNA polymorphisms by RFLP

A false direct exclusion in RBC antigen genetic systems can be caused by

a lack of precursor substance
