Question 1
Correct
Points out of 1.00
Here is an example using 3 CODIS STR results. DNA evidence was found at a crime scene. Due to the poor quality of the DNA
sample, only 3 of the 13 CODIS STRs could be determined. The table below lists the analytical results for the three STRs in the
S
second and third columns (Allele A and Allele B).
STR Locus Allele A Allele B P(Allele A) P(Allele B)
D3S1358 11 12 0.5 0.2
E
TH01 4 4 0.5 0.5
D21S11 7 10 C 0.1 0.5
Which STR is homozygous for the DNA evidence? Recall that homozygosity means that for a given locus, an individual has 2
identical alleles.

In this table, the probabilities for the DNA evidence's alleles have already been established based on population frequencies in
the CODIS database and are presented in the 2 far right columns.
U
Based on the probabilities (i.e. frequencies) for the various alleles for all 3 STRs, which allele is the rarest in the source
population? N
Select one:
a. Allele 7 in D21S11 !

To calculate the RMP, we must first calculate the combined probabilities, or the genotype frequency, at each locus. Recall that the
calculations for heterozygous (2pq) and homozygous (p2) genotypes differ.
What is the genotype frequency for D3S1358? Write your answer as a decimal.
Answer: 0.2 !
