parent for a total of 46
destroyed Right Ans - in canada, after voluntary DNA is used in an
investigation, samples that do not lead to a conviction are ___________
CODIS (combined DNA index systems) Right Ans - a software program;
stores DNA profiles of convicted individuals
primary offences Right Ans - 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
primary offences Right Ans - offence in relation to sexual offences against
children; sexually related offences; murder; attempt to commit murder
secondary offences Right Ans - escape custody or assist escape; prisoner of
war; indecent acts; assault police; break and entering; utter death threats
upon conviction, not arrest Right Ans - when is DNA taken from offender
national academy of sciences (NAS) report Right Ans - the realiability of
DNA as a gold standard of forensic science was published in the 2009
_______________
STR Analysis Right Ans - DNA typing method that examines smaller regions
of repeated sequences, thus requiring less DNA, and being less time
consuming
ACE-V (analysis, comparison, evaluation, verification) Right Ans -
identification process
, ACE-V (analysis, comparison, evaluation, verification) Right Ans - the
progression from first awareness that one fingerprint should be compared to
another consists of four steps
true Right Ans - DNA is totally individualizing, except in identical twins (t
or f)
nucleus Right Ans - DNA can be extracted from any fluid that has a cell with
a __________
bodily fluid deposition Right Ans - serology techniques are used to screen
evidence items for the presence and type of
the crime scene index (CSI) Right Ans - the national DNA Databank is

___________________
cheek cells Right Ans - in a buccal swab, DNA samples are extracted from
flourine Right Ans - this is not a nitrogen-containing base of dna
thymine, guanine, cystosine Right Ans - a nitrogen-containing base of dna
advanced ridgeology Right Ans - defined as the study and uniqueness of
friction ridge structures and formations
true Right Ans - 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)
ridges are persistent after death, allowing for ID during decomposition
Right Ans - what is not one of the four premises of friction ridge
identification?
(1) ridges develop on the foetus, prior to birth
(2) ridge paths are unique and never repeated
(3) ridge patterns vary within limits, which allow for classification Right
Ans - four premises of friction ridge identification
