Explanation / Answer

1)Restriction fragment length polymorphisms - RFLP

2) A T G C - Nucleotides found in DNA

3) PCR- polymerase chain reaction

4) Anneal to the template in PCR- primers

5) Heat DNA to 94degree C - denaturation

6) Allow primers to stick to DNA - anneal

7)72 C nucleotides added to DNA- extend

8) Short tandem repeats- STR s

9)Found in more copies than nuclear DNA- mitochondrial DNA

10) Amplified by the 13 CODIS primer dataset - nuclear DNA

11) 46- Number of chromosomes found in human nucleus

12) Made up of phosphate base and sugar - nucleotides

13) STRs can form these by varying number of repeated sequences- length polymorphisms

14) Cheek cells- common source of voluntary DNA samples

15 Chlorox- Cleaner that removes DNA well

16) Responsible for negative charge on DNA- phosphate groups

17)TAE buffer - used in solution for running gel electrophoresis

18 Enzyme used in PCR- Taq polymerase

19) Dr. Fisher - Your favourite forensics instructor

20) Warmth, moisture, sunlight, time - DNA degraders
