DNA analysis is a technique that is often used in order to determine if an offspring is related to a parent. If the banding pattern in a baby shows a high correlation to a parental banding pattern, the two are most likely related.

Yolanda performed an experiment in which she analyzed the DNA samples of a mother hen and four baby chicks. Her results are shown below.
Yolanda concludes that only the first and fourth chicks could be related to the mother hen. Which of the following explanations supports Yolanda's conclusion?

The banding pattern in the second chick's DNA sequence does not at all match the sequence found in the mother hen.







All of these explanations support Yolanda's conclusion.







Only three out of nine bands in the third chick's DNA sequence exactly match the sequence found in the mother hen.







Seven out of nine bands in the fourth chick's DNA sequence exactly match the sequence found in the mother hen.
