Explanation:

"By comparing the DNA characteristics of the mother and child it is possible to identify the characteristics that the child inherited from the biological mother. Thus, any remaining DNA must have come from the biological father. If the DNA profile from the tested man is found to contain these obligatory paternal characteristics, then a statistical analysis can be performed to determine the probability of paternity."
