Module 9.07
Your first lab link can be found at Autopsy of a Crime Scene.
1.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?
I would say that analyzing the blood in a lab would be the best technique. Alec Jeffreys is known as the father of genetic profiling. He invented what is now an essential technique, especially in forensic science, called a polymerase chain reaction, or PCR.
2.How are computers used in fingerprint analysis?
Experts examine tiny fingerprint details known as minutiae. These may be loops, dots, forks, islands, etc. Several comparison points must be perfectly matched for two fingerprints 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 fingerprint analysis in the US and introduced it to Canada. IN1911, Foster testified as a fingerprint expert in the Jennings case. Fingerprints in the wet paint next to Mr. Hiller, the murder victim, were the only clue. Foster demonstrated to the court that the prints of Thomas Jennings, who had been arrested as he was fleeing the scene, matched those left in the paint, and Jennings was convicted.
4.What is the role of the forensic chemist in crime scene investigation?
These experts analyze all chemical, organic, and inorganic aspects of a sample. They separate the components and identify them using a variety of tests and devices. Their findings are used as evidence by the investigator and in court.
5.Who helped pioneer forensic chemistry? Describe one of her famous cases.
France McGill became a pathologist and teacher is Saskatchewan. When Dr. McGill examined the stomachs of an elderly couple who had died on Christmas Day, she found a large quantity of strychnine, a powerful poison, along with the bran. The murder
