Strayer University CRJ 320 Criminal Investigation Professor: Elaine Wilson The importance and legal uses of DNA evidence in Criminal Investigations Tasha L. Thomas 4/21/2013 Once a crime is committed law enforcement officers are dispatched to the scene and a criminal investigation begins immediately. The first responder to the scene begins to taper off the area and assures that nothing is touched or risk of contamination of evidence occurs‚ while waiting on the

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA? DNA is composed of two polynucleotide strands wound together into a structure known as a double helix. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar base .Nucleotides form together creating a sugar phosphate backbone to each strand. There are three forms of DNA that differ significantly. The most common‚ B form‚ is the structure most people have heard of. It consists of the right

DNA Analysis The importance of DNA analysis has made an impact the forensic world by proving the innocence or guilt of a person. DNA analysis is the most effective method in the Forensic Investigation field‚ it carries more evidentiary value than other forensic evidence‚ it has become a primary source for cases that have not been solved and the advancements in technology will continue to scientifically eliminate wrongful convictions. Although many feel that there are discrepancies in DNA analysis

Forensic DNA Profiling Forensic DNA Profiling Recent advancements in science and computer technology have allowed scientists and investigators to use genetics to aid in solving crime cases. Although there are many different types of methods used to analyze DNA‚ the general process is based upon the uniqueness of each individual’s DNA‚ much like a fingerprint. Due to this uniqueness‚ genetic evidence that matches a specific individual to a crime scene is often viewed as concrete and undeniable

DNA REPLICATION WHAT IS DNA? DNA is a molecule that has a repeating chain of identical five-carbon sugars (polymers) linked together from head to tail. It is composed of four ring shaped organic bases (nucleotides) which are Adenine (A)‚ Guanine (G)‚ Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). It has a double helix shape and contains the sugar component deoxyribose. THE PROCESS OF DNA REPLICATION How DNA replicates is quite a simple process. First‚ a DNA molecule is "unzipped". In other words‚ it

DNA is a double helix molecule that contains information that is used to make up a person’s body. DNA controls every aspect of a person’s body from their eye and hair color‚ height‚ and other features. DNA’s specific and unique characteristic can be crucial when solving a crime. DNA can be used to convict a suspect or exonerate an innocent person. When DNA is found it is even more important that is handle properly to ensure proper identification and accuracy of testing.

History of DNA Technology During the early1960s‚ there was great progress being made in beginning to understand the structure of genes and the mechanisms of their replication‚ expression‚ and regulation in prokaryotes and the viruses that began to infect them (Berg 2010). However at the time it was still unknown as to whether or not these findings applied to eukaryotes. This is because the tools used at the time for exploring genetic properties were not fit for the task. By the spring of 1972‚ the

The spiral is also known as a double helix. The strands are made up of our genetic information‚ composed of genes and chromosomes. There are four bases divided among purines and pyrimidines. On the purines there are Adenine (A) and Guanine (G). On the pyrimidines there are Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). The
