20) How many unique STR regions does the FBI use in forensic analysis?
- A) 1
- B) 5
- C) 13
- D) 50
- E) 100+
Answer: C
21) Explain why using 13 STR regions helps the FBI to gain assurance that they have the correct information.
Answer: The more STR sites used, the greater the assurance that the DNA found at the crime scene matches that of the accused. If the FBI used one or two or even five STRs, there would still be a chance that the person accused might not be the crime’s perpetrator. When all 13 “CODIS” sites are used, there is an over 99.9999% chance that the match is exact.
22) How has the invention of forensic science helped with crime-solving?
Answer: Using DNA techniques, law enforcement can use much smaller samples from crime scenes than previously needed for traditional techniques. Forensic analysis provides greater assurances that the criminal has been identified. Blood typing, for example, merely rules someone out; it cannot prove that a match is a certainty.
23) What are some important steps that a forensic technician must follow to minimize evidence contamination?
Answer:
- Wear and change disposable gloves frequently
- Use disposable instruments
- Avoid taking, sneezing, or coughing when handling samples
- Do not touch anything that may contain DNA
- Air-dry evidence
- Store evidence in specially designed bags
