Forensic Science: Questions and Answers
Which technique is the best choice when blood is found at a crime scene? In the genetics laboratory (under "resources" at the bottom of the window), who is one individual that contributed to modern genetic analysis? What did this person contribute?
Analyzing blood in a lab would be the best technique. Alec Jeffreys is mown as the father of genetic profiling, along with that he also invented what is now called the essential technique which is called a polymerase chain reaction.
2. How are computers used in fingerprint analysis?
Experts examine tiny fingerprint details also know as minutiae. These can be loops, dots, forks or islands! Several comparison points have to be matched for two finger prints to be considered identical.
3. Who is a pioneer in fingerprint analysis? Describe a famous case that this person was involved in.
Edward Foster studied the fingerprint analysis that was introduces in US and Canada. In 1911, he testified as fingerprint expert in the Jennings case. Fingerprints in wet paint were left next to Mr. Hiller who was murdered. These were the only clue. Foster showed the court that the finger prints belonged to Thomas Jennings who was caught running away from the scene.
4. What is the role of the forensic chemist in crime scene investigation?
The forensic chemise analyzes chemical, organs and inorganic aspects of samples. They then separate the components and identify them by doing a variety of tests. What they find is used as evidence in court.
5. Who helped pioneer forensic chemistry? Describe one of her famous cases
France McGill did. One of her famous cases involved the death of an older couple. She examined their stomachs and found a quantity of strychnine which is a powerful poison along with bran. The elders had eaten poisonous bran muffins that were baked by their grandfather. She had planned to use them on her father, she was then charged with murder.
6. In the ballistics laboratory, what is the water tank used
