is there a fingerprint for each gene or the fingerprint character is special for the total genome of each person, and what does it mean to have a genetic fingerprint ?
I guess the question is not giving enough information about what you want to ask.... Sure there are some genetic markers which are different in every individual but that is for certain special markers.... I don't think every gene has this .... Its only for the gene which are highly conserved and used for the genetyping.
Perhaps it is the pattern of DNA unique to each individual that can be analysed in a sample of blood, saliva, or tissue: used as a means of identification.
DNA fingerprinting is the application of molecular marker techniques for the identification of cultivars. A typical fingerprinting technique generates molecular markers that should be polymorphic enough to discriminate between cultivars but not too polymorphic to throw up differences within individuals of a cultivar. Fingerprinting techniques differ depending on how the DNA fragments are generated and assayed. The attached review paper elucidates development of plant DNA fingerprinting technology, and highlights issues and challenges in this new area of forensic plant molecular biology.
From my perception, I understood that you want to know what is DNA Fingerprinting to the deep level.?
Every living being and their genome has some sort of unique region of sequence, which is not matching with others unless they are monozygotic twins.
Pattern of DNA sequence arrangement varies from person to person and from parents to children.
A child may have 50% similarity to father and 50% similarity to mother when performs RFLP Test- the pattern of fragmentation based on the DNA Sequences.

Dear Murugan N, thanks a lot for your answer. I have another question here, does each gene have a special fingerprint , if yes what is the fingerprint in this case?
Each gene has its own unique sequence from every individual.
For example a gene codes for insulin will be common to every human being.
but some SNPs called Single Nucleotide polymorphisms is possible, which does not cause any functional changes or alteration, but may have some higher or lower chance of that protein function may get altered in near future.
there is no fingerprint in every gene, using the word fingerprint in a gene is not scientifically good.
