different copy number of VNTR. For the sake of understanding different colour schemes have been used to trace the origin of
each band in the gel. The two alleles (paternal and maternal) of a chromosome also contain different copy numbers of VNTR.
It is clear that the banding pattern of DNA from crime scene matches with individual B, and not with A
