A body was found in an apartment in a downtown San Diego high-rise. To solve this murder, forensic scientists were brought in to analyze any evidence that might be found. The victim of the crime had only one piece of evidence on it: a bite mark. Crime scene techs recovered a small amount of saliva from this bite mark and, using DNA fingerprinting RFLP analysis, compared the DNA from this saliva to the DNA from 4 potential suspects, all who looked pretty guilty. The results of this analysis are shown below: Key: Victim (V) - A chihuahua Bite mark DNA (B) - from the suspect! Suspect 1 (S1)- A dachshund Suspect 2 (S2) - A pomeranian Suspect 3 (S3)- A Yorkshire terrier Suspect 4 (S4) - A schnauzer Based on these results, which suspect, if any, committed this crime? (Hint: compare the DNA found on the bite mark with the DNA from the suspects. The ladder is provided as a reference point.)
