With the help of DNA fingerprinting which can be used to determine paternity. There are three babies (Baby A, Baby B and Baby C) in a maternity ward, and three sets of confused and worried parents. (Father and Mother #1 are a couple, as are Father and Mother #2, and Father and Mother #3.) 
You do each PCR reaction on chromosome 15 and load each one into a separate well of an agarose gel, and then run the gel.

 
 Why is it that some people show three bands?

  1. The more repeats you have, the longer your DNA fragment is, and longer DNA fragments migrate more slowly in gels.
  2. They are heterozygotes at this region.
  3. They are homozygotes at this region.
  4. They are heterozygotes, and possess one allele that can be cut and one allele that cannot be cut.

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased
Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.
