This week assignment was based on us to write about how biological evidence is obtained at the crime-scene. Biological evidence means the evidence that is commonly recovered from crime scenes. Such evidences are in the form of blood, saliva, sperm, hair, tissue, bones, teeth, blood, or other bodily fluids.Since blood, semen, and saliva originate as liquids, they quickly coat or penetrate surfaces they are deposited on, and when dried they are difficult to remove. Because no two humans are genetically

happened or why something happens etc. but a theory is something that hasn’t been proven. When someone’s theory is proven it is considered a fact. So with knowing this I must agree that Evolution is just a theory because there is no complete proof or evidence to prove support or back up the theory of evolution. Therefore due to the definition of a fact and theory evolution must be a theory. Too me Gravity is not a theory. I believe this because gravity has laws; each law explains how gravity works

has become an increasingly bigger idea in labs. In the past year, President Obama spent $215 million to develop a research initiative that sequence the DNA of about a million volunteers. The process of genome sequencing is complex, but to put it in simpler terms it’s determining the precise number of nucleotides inside of a DNA molecule. Successful DNA sequencing has also lead to a huge increase in biological/medical research and discovery, which is why Obama has put so much money into researching it

actually guilty. That is the job of the court to decide that. When evidence is presented to the jury, we like to think that they research all pieces of evidence thoroughly before rendering a judgment. That is not always the case unfortunately. There are more times than most people are aware of, of people being wrongfully convicted. The issue of this, is that DNA evidence is not always present in these cases. With the implantation of DNA in these criminal cases, there would be more innocent people walking

Nowadays, forensic phenotyping, aiming to infer the unknown sample donor’s appearance from DNA, is expected to reduce the number of potential suspects (4, 5). To date, the most well studied externally visible characteristic (EVC) markers are the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with pigmentation, e. g., the variations in the coloration of the iris, hair, and skin (6–8). However, such pigmentation markers may not be useful in certain populations such as Asians and Africans with

Electrophoresis Virtual Lab 1. How is it possible to sort different lengths of DNA strands using gel electrophoresis? 1. Shorter strands travel faster, thus causing them to be farther down the gel. Longer strands travel slower, so they will appear near the top of the gel. 2. List the steps required to complete the gel electrophoresis process. 1. Make the gel 2. Set up gel apparatus 3. Load the DNA sample into the gel 4. Hook up the electrical current and run the gel 5. Stain
