Summary Introduction
To compare: The STR readout for person J in the given table with the chart given on page 408 to determine whether the remains could belong to person J.
Introduction: The human body consists of about trillion cells that have strands of genetic material called the chromosomes. The genes are arranged in the chromosomes like the beads of thread which is the fundamental unit of heredity. Each gene is composed of deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) that are passed from one generation to another generation. It instructs the cells to make proteins that perform various functions of the body.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The locus at which the STR loci of profiles differs.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7.
A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids
using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid.
B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could
occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds
in the backbone of each amino acid.
C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups
could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label
the bond that you formed between the two R groups.
- Polar covalent Bond - Red
- Non polar Covalent boND- yellow
