FSC100 Exam UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers
1. Dr. Alec Jeffreys became the first person to make a break-
through in DNA exclusion in 1984
2. True humans inherit a genome of 23 chromosomes
from each parent for a total of 46
3. destroyed in canada, after voluntary DNA is used in an
investigation, samples that do not lead to a
conviction are
4. CODIS (combined DNA index systems) a software program; stores DNA profiles of con-
victed individuals
5. primary offences in canada, sexual crimes and murder fall into
the category of meaning a DNA sample of the
convicted perpetrator is automatically added to
the Convicted Offender Index
6. primary offences offence in relation to sexual offences against
children; sexually related offences; murder; at-
tempt to commit murder
7. secondary offences escape custody or assist escape; prisoner of
war; indecent acts; assault police; break and
entering; utter death threats
8. upon conviction, not arrest when is DNA taken from offender
9. national academy of sciences (NAS) re- the realiability of DNA as a gold standard of
port forensic science was published in the 2009
10. STR Analysis
, DNA typing method that examines smaller re-
gions of repeated sequences, thus requiring
less DNA, and being less time consuming
11. ACE-V (analysis, comparison, evaluation, identification process
verification)
12. ACE-V (analysis, comparison, evaluation, the progression from first awareness that one
verification) fingerprint should be compared to another
consists of four steps
13. true DNA is totally individualizing, except in identical
twins (t or f)
14. nucleus DNA can be extracted from any fluid that has a
cell with a
15. bodily fluid deposition serology techniques are used to screen evi-
dence items for the presence and type of
16. the crime scene index (CSI) the national DNA Databank is responsible for
two indices: The Convicted Offender Index
(COI) and the
17. cheek cells in a buccal swab, DNA samples are extracted
from
18. flourine this is not a nitrogen-containing base of dna
19. thymine, guanine, cystosine a nitrogen-containing base of dna
20. advanced ridgeology defined as the study and uniqueness of friction
ridge structures and formations
, 21. true in canada, fingerprints are defined as both the
friction skin pattern formation found on human
skin, as well as the impression or mark left on a
surface after having had contact with fingers (t
or f)
22. ridges are persistent after death, allow- what is not one of the four premises of friction
ing for ID during decomposition ridge identification?
23. (1) ridges develop on the foetus, prior to four premises of friction ridge identification
birth
(2) ridge paths are unique and never re-
peated
(3) ridge patterns vary within limits,
which allow for classification
24. false volar skin is the name for non-friction skin that,
unlike fingers, does not assist in the ability to
hold items or provide traction
25. sir frances galton in 1892, which cousin of charles darwin was
responsible for the acceptance of the use of
fingerprints
26. relief what is not an attribute of friction-skin

28. rate of sweat (excessive sweating), di- what can affect the composition of fingerprint
etary habits, age secretions
29. true like dna, fingerprint patterns are inherited
combinations derived from both parents (t or
f)
