Document Summary
Application of biology to associate a person. Used to screen evidence items for the presence and type of body uid deposition. Most human genes made up of 5 to 10,000 at or gc pairs. There is one molecule of dna in each chromosome and every species has a characteristics set of chromosomes. Throughout her career she did extensive research. Second generation typing system that looks at one area a single locus (loci) Every other form of evidence but dna is questionable. Despite our di erences, 99. 9% of dna is identical. Can be extracted from bodily uids that contain any cell with nucleus. Mitochondrial dna is on maternal line not individualizing enough. Rape and murder involving two 15 year old girls.
