Explanation:

Step1: Analyze DNA bands

In a paternity test, the baby inherits half of its DNA from the mother and half from the father. We look for matching DNA bands between the baby and the potential fathers.

Step2: Compare bands

By comparing the DNA bands of the baby with dad 1 and dad 2, we check which man has bands that match the non - maternal bands of the baby.

Step3: Determine father

Upon inspection, we find that the non - maternal bands of the baby match the bands of dad 1.

Answer:

Dad 1
