Forensic DNA/Protein Synthesis/DNA Mutations

• DNA testing is a foolproof way of finding the guilty person
• DNA testing is sometimes reliable along with whether you know the suspects or not.

• just like a fingerpring on the hand is unique to each person a DNA fingerpring is even more unique.
• It's a myth. fingerpringting is not an appropriate name.

• They are banded like a gel electrophoresis machine run so to practice with UPC labels helps a person gain skills in reading real DNA patterns.
• Its not UPC. It can be called the UFC simulation. This can be very dangerous using a machine with 8 sides.

• It is similar but each individual's DNA is banded in a unique pattern specific only to that person.
• Yes, blood relatives have the same DNA.

• No. If it is used alone it is mostly to exclude suspects. It is usually incorrect maybe 1% of the time so is highly accurate. The court system requires bits of further evidence to seal a suspects fate.
• No but the court system uses it anyway even thou it can error maybe 1% or less of the time.

How are radioactive DNA probes located?

• Using a Geiger counter
• Using Gel electrophoresis after enzyme cutting

Who are the only people to share identical DNA fingerprints?

• paternal twins (identical)

• fraternal twins (non identical)

2. A mutation that removes a base and causes a frameshift.

• Point Mutation
• Inversion
• Deletion
• Insertion

1. A mutation in DNA where a single base is changed.

• Point Mutation
• Inversion
• Deletion
• Insertion

3. A mutation that adds a base and causes a frameshift.

• Point Mutation
