It can be obtained from a wider variety of biological samples.

Explanation: DNA profiling can use blood, saliva, semen, hair roots, skin cells, etc., whereas fingerprinting requires identifiable ridge impressions. DNA also provides higher individual specificity, but it is generally more time‑consuming, costly, and requires specialized training compared with fingerprinting.
