Students have asked these similar questions
DNA fingerprinting is now widely used to tie a particular suspect to the DNA
samples found at a crime scene. What does this mean?
O a. DNA from the crime scene that matches an individual is unique to that
person versus anyone on the whole planet
O b. DNA fingerprinting is not that accurate
O c. The DNA fingerprint must be taken from a database like DNA ancestry
and cannot be collected from an individual who is a suspect
O d. DNA from the crime scene may match more than one person on the
whole planet
e. There are no benefits to DNA fingerprinting
How is the DNA used for catching crime suspects? Describe the procedure and cite a particular example where it helped solve a case or absolved an innocent person from any wrongdoing.
Write a brief paragraph about what a scientist could do with DNA.
Could you please help me with this? I am struggling tremendously. Thanks!

- 1 2 Today's technology has made it easier to quickly and accurately generate DNA profiles. In this part of the activity, you will model the process yourself to solve a crime. Good luck, detective! Crime Report: A thief has stolen a priceless collection of jewels from the Museum of Precious Jewels. Forensic technicians obtained skin cells from a forehead print left on the glass enclosure of the jewel exhibit. DNA has been isolated and PCR amplified for some of the standard STR loci. A partial genetic profile generated from the collected DNA is shown in Figure 5. 10 50 DNA Profile from Forehead Print Number of base pairs 00 50 40 D58818 075830 I 16 MU DES1179 Shandand (10) 70 CSF1PO DITS820 80 100 Figure 5.

- Do you think it should be possible to convict criminals solely on gel electrophoresis of digested DNA samples? Why or why not?arrow_forwardDNA dragnets have been so successful that some people have suggested that DNA samples of everyone should be stored at birth, so a profile could be made for anyone at any time. A. Do you think this is a good idea or not? And, B. do you think it useful or ethical for the FBI to store DNA samples from people who have been arrested but not yet convicted of a crime? Answer both questions,arrow_forwardHumans have very similar DNA sequences, with approximately 999/1000 letters being ide One possible way of telling the difference between these very similar sequences is by: Genetic engineering Analyzing RFLPS using gel electrophoresis Comparing the total amount of DNA from two or more peoplearrow_forward
- When forensic experts work with a blood sample, what part of it do they use for PCR; red blood cells, white blood cells, or proteinaceous antibodies? If trying to find a tandem repeat segment, why would you pick one choice other another?arrow_forwardHow could personal DNA testing be beneficial to medicine?arrow_forwardMany times a forensic scientist has only a single hair or a single drop of blood for analysis. The amount of DNA in this kind of material is very tiny, and is not enough to use for comparison. In other words, running a single experiment to compare the DNA in a drop of blood with several suspects would use up all of the DNA in that drop of blood. This could be a serious problem if none of the suspects provided a match. How would a forensic scientist increase the amount of DNA available to them, starting with the DNA that would be found in their crime scene sample, such as a drop of blood from a suspect?
