A Labrador retriever breeder needs to determine if three male pups who were born to Sadie, his black Labrador retriever, are the offspring of Sam, a yellow Labrador retriever from another breeder. Which process could the breeder use to determine if Sam is the father of the pups?
PCR analysis
STR analysis
mtDNA analysis
Y-chromosome analysis

Answer

STR analysis. Comparing short tandem repeat (STR) markers in the pups, Sadie, and Sam can establish paternity: each pup should have inherited one allele at each marker from its mother and the other from its father.
