The DNA Fingerprinting Simulation provides an interactive learning experience that teaches students how DNA profiling is used in forensic investigations and paternity testing. Through virtual experimentation, learners extract and digest DNA samples with restriction enzymes, separate DNA fragments using agarose gel electrophoresis, and analyze resulting banding patterns. The simulation demonstrates the principles of molecular biology, including DNA fragment separation, restriction enzyme recognition sites, and gel visualization techniques. Students gain practical skills in interpreting DNA evidence, comparing genetic profiles, and solving medico-legal cases. This hands-on virtual lab enhances understanding of modern genetic identification methods in a safe and engaging environment.
