Question: Polymorphic DNA sequences are used for molecular identification. Short tandem repeats ( STRs ) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism ( SNPs ) are used as polymorphic

Polymorphic DNA sequences are used for molecular identification. Short tandem repeats (STRs) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) are used as polymorphic markers. The table below summarizes the status of autosomal SNP, autosomal STR, mitochondrial SNP, Y-linked STR for four individuals related to each other, representing parents and their two children. Based on the below data, identify the individuals representing the two parents.
