After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.

Four decades after the end of the Vietnam War, the remains of an Air Force pilot were discovered and returned to the United States. A search of Air Force records identified three families to which the remains might possibly belong. Each family had a surviving twin of a missing service member. The following STR profiles were obtained from the remains of the pilot and the surviving twins from the three families.




In order to match the pilot's remains to the correct family using DNA profiling,

▸ the bands for site 13 must match.

▸ each of the 13 STR bands must match.

▸ the majority of the STR bands must match.

▸ bands 5 and 7 must match.
