NEW!!!
dawn ashworth and lynda mann murders - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ one man confessed only to the second murder
alec jeffreys investigating how to test for DNA - 1985
found that perpetrators of the crime were the same, but
it wasn't the guy who confessed
got voluntary blood and saliva samples
colin pitchfork
fingerprint for crime identification - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ has been in use for hundreds of years
good for property ones
turn into numerical code based on these parts
,2|Page
why are we interested in dna fingerprinting? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ real fingerprints not left behind in
many crimes
they are essentially unique
real fingerprints are - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ entirely
unique
dna fingerprinting uses - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ solve
unsolvable crimes
resolve paternity issues
can prove innocence of people unjustly convicted
immigration
dna is - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ a long sequence of letters
that carry the info of how to build molecules for the
body
A or T, G or C - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ match up
how much "spelling" difference is there between
individuals? - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ 99.9% of it exactly
the same
,3|Page
different enough: 3 M diff base pairs
on average, indiv differ in their dna sequence at -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ 0.1% of their bases: 3M
differences out of 3B base pairs
blood - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ can isolate cells that came
from perpetrators, get to repeating parts, indication -
random population to compare to
short tandem repeats (STRs) - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
repeating units, usually 4-5 nucleotides long
diff alleles may repeat different amount of times
call it a locus: location on chromosome
noncoding - doesn't code for any product, protein, built,
etc. "junk dna"
nucleotides - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ A, T, C, G
supposed there are 10 alleles for str 1, each with the
same frequency in the population. what is the likelihood
that a random person has the same genotype as the
perpetrator's DNA found at a crime scene? -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ 1/100 (why???)
, 4|Page
homozygous - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ has to inherit same
allele, same for STRs
10, 10 x 12, 14 not homozygous if 10 12 or 10 14
more questions about possible STR allele combos -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ cross them like a punnett suqare
still
for an str locus -> many (2 or 3 dozen or even more!) -
.....ANSWER ...✔✔ alleles exist within the population,
but each individual can only have two of them
many individuals have different - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
STR loci: at different pace and how many of them
creating a DNA fingerprint - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ 1.
dna fragment containing each STR region is amplified.
results in huge numbers of those fragments
2. fragments separated by size, using electrophoresis
3. str region is stained on gel
