Genetic fingerprinting is revolutionary.
You first explain to them how you can get access to somenes DNA for e.g saliva, hair, and most important fingerprints because it would be fascinating for someone who has no idea. You should start explaining in a way, putting yourself in that situation as an ignorant person. it would be intersting for you to know that someones DNA is easily accesible by only the touch of your fingers right?
DNA is your molecular identity and it can be examined. Even though 95% of it is still a mystery it says alot about a person.
You should then start by explaining the process chromatography and how it is useful for fingerprinting. You could give few examples, or chart of its accuracy.
You could also say if it can assure you that you're parents infants then it cn surely identify the criminal at crime scene by the same process
