The rights that death penalty inmates should have with regard to DNA testing of old evidence, as from 1977 to 2000, 12 convicts were executed in Illinois and in same period, 13 death row inmates were exonerated based on DNA evidence. In 2000, the governor of Illinois declared a moratorium on all execution I his state because the death penalty system was “fraught with errors”. Introduction: DNA testing is a technique in which a sample of DNA is tested in laboratory to generate information about it to link and identity with the source sample; it can also be used to compare two or more sample. DNA testing can also help police and government officials locate and identify its origin and whom it belong.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between 0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait?

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has completed the PCR reaction.
