a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether, any of the suspects can be excluded as the one who committed the crime based on the results of the testing, or not.

Introduction: The genetic material of an individual is packed in the form of DNA. The evidence collected by the police is a small bloodstain from which the DNA is extracted and the fragments are separated with the help of electrophoresis. The separated fragments are transferred to a membrane where they are probed with radioactive DNA.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The suspect which can be excluded as the one who committed the crime with a plausible reason.

Introduction: The genetic material of an individual is packed in the form of DNA. The evidence collected by the police is a small bloodstain from which the DNA is extracted and the fragments are separated with the help of electrophoresis. The separated fragments are transferred to a membrane where they are probed with radioactive DNA.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the pattern from the evidence is consistent with the band pattern of one of the suspects, or not and also determine the suspect with which it is consistent.

DNA EXTRACTION Materials: knife                                                               1 cup of fruit                              Table salt                                                       clean piece of cloth or strainer for filtering resealable bag                                              dishwashing liquid 70% rubbing alcohol (chilled)                   shot glass (or any transparent and narrow container resembling a test tube)                                                                                                                           How to do the extraction: Before you begin, make sure you have chilled your alcohol in the freezer for at least 3 hours. Room temperature alcohol will not work nearly as well as cold alcohol. Place about 50 mL of alcohol in the freezer to chill it and take it out only when you’re going to need it. (The alcohol will not actually freeze.)   1. The first thing you will need is a sample. Since DNA is found in all living…
