Following a major aviation accident, genetic profiling was used for victim identification. During examination, investigators observed that two DNA profiles obtained were completely indistinguishable across all tested markers. Which of the following is the most plausible inference in this context?
- 1The profiles resulted from amplification of the same biological material due to procedural contamination
- 2The profiles correspond to genetically identical monozygotic twins✓
- 3The profiles belong to individuals linked through a direct maternal lineage due to mitochondrial DNA inheritance
- 4The profiles belong to two unrelated individuals who coincidentally share identical genetic markers
Correct answer
The profiles correspond to genetically identical monozygotic twins
