Question

You're a park ranger at Yellowstone National Park. You've discovered the internal organs of a deer just inside the park boundaries. Because hunting in the park is illegal, you notify the local police to be on the alert for a recently killed deer. The police spot a truck carrying the carcass of a large deer a few miles outside the park. They suspect this is the deer that was killed inside the park boundaries, but they need somes evidence linking this deer to the remains found in the park.

Would test(s) could determine whether the deer in the truck was killed inside Yellowstone Park? Explain your answer.

Explanation / Answer

We can use DNA Fingerprinting for this purpose. The tissues collected inside the park boundaries can be matched with that of the carcass (found outside the park). If both of them matches, it can identify the deer being killed and thus investigate on its poachers.
