subadult age estimation correct answers - epiphyseal union:
- dental eruption:
sub pubic angle correct answers (adult sex estimation)
greater sciatic notch correct answers (adult sex estimation)
ancestry correct answers cranial variation:
stature correct answers linear regression formula:
antemortem trauma correct answers Injury to a body that occurs during life
perimortem trauma correct answers Injury that occurs at or about the time of death
methods for identification correct answers - fingerprints
- dentition
- dna
- radiography
- anthropology
- facial aproximation
- photo-superimposition
Forensic Odontology correct answers 1) Dental and Craniofacial Identification
2) Bite-Mark Investigation
3) Oro-facial Trauma
4) Jurisprudence (expert witness testimony)
Dental Identification correct answers - Compare antemortem and postmortem records
National Crime Information Center (NCIC) correct answers
dental matching correct answers - reliable means of positive id
- Dental restorations, anomalies, and other unique characteristics that should exclude
individuals other than the individual in question
Serology correct answers study or diagnostic examination of blood serum, or other bodily
fluids
Protocol for blood analysis correct answers 1) Visual inspection for presence of blood
2) Presumptive screening test
, 3) Confirmatory test
4) Characterization of sample using genetic markers (DNA)
presumptive test for blood correct answers - catalytic color test
- chemiluminescence
Teichmann test correct answers (confirmatory blood test) Examination of crystals formed by
combining blood samples and chloride-containing acetic acid on microscope slide
Takayama test correct answers (confirmatory blood test) more reliable
Semen correct answers - Composed of spermatozoa and amino acids, sugars, salts, and ions
- Test for Acid Phosphatase (AP) developed in 1930s
- SAP (Seminal Acid Phosphatase)
Saliva correct answers - Slightly alkaline secretion composed of water, mucus, proteins, salts,
and enzymes
- Produce 1-1.5 liters per day
- Aids in initial stages of digestion
- Main enzyme is amylase
surface texture (blood) correct answers - harder and less porous surface, the less spatter
results
- pointed end of a bloodstain always faces its direction of travel
Impact Angle on flat Surface correct answers - Measure degree of circular distortion
- At right angles, blood drop is circular
- As angle decreases, stain becomes elongated
Passive correct answers Clots, drops, flows, pooling
Projected/Impact correct answers - Spatter, splashes, cast-off, arterial spurt, etc.
- E.g., forward and back spatter
- Cast-off stains
- Arterial spurt
Voids correct answers Blood evidence surrounding an outline (e.g., person)
how much dna is the same for humans? correct answers 99.5%
DNA Fingerprinting correct answers Developed in the 1980s by Dr. Alec Jeffreys using
hypervariable, repeated base sequences known as "minisatellites"
Genome correct answers total genetic makeup of organism
Gene correct answers sequence of DNA that codes for protein
Allele correct answers An alternative form of a gene which may result in different
expressions of a trait
