Document Summary

Forensic biology incorporates the related areas of: body fluid identification (serology, deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) analysis. Serology techniques are used to screen evidence items for the presence and type of body fluid deposition. Serology analyses target the bio-chemicals and cells that define the distinctive functional characteristics of different body fluids: hemoglobin in blood, spermatozoa in semen. Serologists seek to identify class evidence such as human and non-human biological materials: blood, bodily fluids, hair and fibres. Obtained from individuals, items or collected directly from a crime scene. Deoxyribonucleic acid is found in every cell with a nucleus and includes: bodily fluids, hair, teeth, bone. Profiling is derived from the analysis of this genetic material for comparative analysis and identification purposes. Deoxyribonucleic acid: genetic information that dictates the form and development of an organism. A molecule found in almost all human cells. Dna is the genetic blueprint of life.
