Forensic scientists have an important role during a criminal investigation; they are the ones who analyze biological, chemical, contact trace materials, and physical samples. The samples are taken into evidence to provide proof the police need to make a case in the court.

Based on the location of the biological evidence and its DNA can provide crucial information about the crime scene, its victim, and the suspect(s). These tests divided between presumptive and confirmatory testing. Blood evidence is the most common type bodily fluid found at a crime scene. Presumptive testing at the…

In scenario you determine different parts of Forensic Science such as Entomology, Odontology, Anthropology, Pathology, and the Microbiology methods to complete the crime investigation. In the test center, forensic biologists scrutinize this proof using microscopes as well as additional machinery. Introduction Forensic Biologist are used in crime scenes to determine the outcome of scene. They also use Forensic Entomology, Odontology, Anthropology, Pathology, and microbiology…
