a repeating DNA base sequence

the AMEL marker

SNPs

the FBI Core marker, D1S1656

A woman was raped by a man she did not know. Although he did not wear a disguise, her traumatic experience prevents her from being able to provide police with a description. The police have a semen sample, but the DNA analysis does not match anyone in the database.
The police may use _____ to get a visual representation of the suspect.

hypnosis

genetic genealogy

a sketch artist

DNA phenotyping

CODIS, _____, is a program launched by the FBI in 1998.

The table shows data Chargaff collected on DNA nitrogenous bases in five organisms.

null

Which statement did Chargaff conclude based on these data? Note that a letter in brackets, such as [A] or [C], refers to the concentration of one of the nitrogenous bases.

in single-stranded DNA molecules, [A] = [T] = [C ] = [G]

in DNA molecules, [T] > [A] > [G] > [C]

in DNA molecules, [A] = [T], and [C ] = [G]

in DNA molecules [A] = [G], and [C ] = [T]

Three babies were born on the same morning in the same hospital. When the babies were bathed, the identification bracelets slipped off and the nurses thought a mix-up may have occurred. The screen displays the DNA profiles of the babies and their parents. Use the DNA profiles to identify the parents of each baby.
