Refer to the DNA profiles comparing the DNA obtained from the three suspects with the crime-scene DNA.
Use a ruler to align the bands found under the crime-scene DNA with any of the bands found in the suspects’ DNA. Place the ruler at the bottom of the bands. Take notes on whether any of the suspects’ DNA shares the same bands as the crime-scene DNA.
Analyze your notes on each suspect’s DNA profile. Do any suspects share all the DNA bands found in the evidence DNA?
A mother has a child and needs to prove who the father is to get child support. Looking at the following DNA fingerprint, who is the father? How did you determine who was the father? Why is it important that ALL DNA samples are cut with the same enzyme? What bands in the offspring came from which parent?
Rosalind Franklin was unable to calculate the dimensions of the DNA molecule.

Question: How can DNA evidence be used to convict or exonerate a defendant? 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
