Textbook Question
Chapter 14.3, Problem 1CSC
Guilty or Innocent?
When biological evidence was found in one of the Haynesworth case files in 2009, the sample was 25 years old. Fortunately DNA doesn't degrade very fast.

Why is DNA evidence so powerful? Answer: DNA evidence can be used to perform DNA profiling to determine the genotype of the specific DNA sample. With just a small amount of DNA, PCR can produce billions of copies of that specific segment. The segments that are used are from non-coding regions that contain STR’s or short tandem repeats. These very short DNA sequences are repeated and are specific to individuals because we inherit them from our mother and father. Gel electrophoresis separates the PCR products based on their size and each band is compared to the allele ladder. This process helps to identify the alleles present in the original samples. DNA profiling is performed at many loci to be able to tell the genetic difference between different individuals with a lot of certainty. The DNA from the different suspects is compared to the allele…arrow_forward

- Question:- The success of renal transplantation depends on three human histocompatibility genes, HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C, which must match between the donor and the receiver. A single mismatch may cause the kidney rejection. Each gene has multiple co-dominant alleles. These three genes are located very close to each other on chromosome 6, so that the recombination rate is very low (below 1%). The father has the following genotype: A1, A2, B24, B10, Cw4 and Cw7 and the mother is A1, A1, B11, B7, Cw5 and Cw8. Their first boy is A1, A1, B24, B11, Cw7 and Cw8.
