Question
Chapter 11, Problem 18P
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The ways by which a prosecutor use DNA from the seed pods to build a case against the defendant.
Introduction:
DNA fingerprinting is defined as the method in which variable elements present in the sequence of DNA are isolated and identified. The DNA is obtained from a sample of cells such as skin, blood, or hair cells. They are a rich source of DNA.
