Question

DID YOU SEE any evidence of contamination and/or degradation of DNA in the DNA profiles you examined? HOW IMPORTANT IS the database that is used to determine allele frequencies in DNA profiling cases? OUR COUNTRY IS often referred to as a "melting pot" but that term is probably more appropriately applied to the manner in which we quickly assimilate each other's cultures rather than our genes. Blonde hair and blue eyes, for instance, are still predominantly found in individuals of German or Scandinavian ancestry even though many of the cultural attributes of those groups (such as an appreciation of beer) are found throughout our society. How might you take into account population substructuring (ethnic groups or other collections of individuals that prevent the totally random exchange of genetic material) in determining the significance of a DNA profile match? WHAT FACTORS OTHER than population substructuring might make a database unreliable and how would you minimize their effect? HOW WOULD YOU determine if two alleles or two sets of genes such as those that code for blonde hair and blue eyes are correlated or linked in a population? WHAT EFFECT WOULD looking at more than just three loci have on the frequencies and probabilities you calculated for your case? WHAT STEPS COULD forensic scientists take to minimize the chances of false positives or contamination in their work? HOW HERITABLE ARE DNA profiles relative to fingerprints? OULD DNA analysts draw conclusions about what alleles are associated with an evidence sample before they know a suspect's DNA profile?

Explanation / Answer

DNA profiles are heritable relative to fingerprints because on basis of this fingerprints we can know the genes locality of DNA and we can know about ciminal person and we can use this fingerpriNTS to know the child's parents
