Explain the significance of $DNA$ fingerprinting in the field of forensics.

(N/A) The knowledge of $DNA$ polymorphism in individuals helps in identifying,treating,and to some extent,preventing thousands of human irregularities.
It is highly useful as an identification tool in forensic applications. Furthermore,since polymorphism is inherited from parents to offspring,$DNA$ fingerprinting is an excellent test to resolve paternity disputes.
$DNA$ obtained from any tissue of an individual,such as blood,hair,bones,saliva,or sperm,shows identical polymorphism. This allows for the accurate identification of criminals.
