DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material that carries the genetic instructions being used in growth, development and reproduction of all living things. DNA has regions called genetic polymorphisms that are used to determine paternity/maternity, kinship, determination of human remains, and inherited diseases. DNA is an example of what forensic use for evidence in a crime. Using regions in the DNA you can determine a “fingerprint” for an individual that can help in a crime, with this many forensic sciences has helped law enforcement keep track of offenders. During DNA fingerprinting just, a sample of blood or hair from the crime scene can be used to extract DNA from. Polymerase chain reaction is used to make copies of that STR region because they are being analyzed. Another

He closed the crime scene and called in a forensic to collect evidence. The three suspects that had any connection to Beyoncé and were the nearest to her room were the people in the lobby, Jay-z (Suspect 1), the assistant (Suspect 2) and Kanye West (Suspect 3). Officer Rivas interviewed them as they got to the police station while the forensics examined the evidence. For evidence the investigators found a piece of white plastic was found near the computer table in the victim’s room, a blue fiber was found on the doorframe, a fingerprint was found on a broken glass in the trash in the kitchen and a strand of black hair was found on the victim’s shirt. These evidences were taken to examination. The objective of this crime scene is to examine a forensics question using techniques to extract and analyze the DNA and to separate the DNA fragments of different sizes by agarose gel electrophoresis. Our Hypothesis was that suspect 2 committed the crime, our prediction was that if suspect 2 committed the crime then DNA from the crime scene would have matched the suspect’s
