Provide support for using the product rule in generating a high confidence that an individual has a unique DNA profile using multiple STRs
What will be an ideal response?
The product rule states that the probability of an individual having certain alleles in a population is the result of the product of each of the individual allelic frequencies in the population. As such, one STR locus with two alleles at a frequency of 0.361 and 0.141 would have a 10% chance of being unique in a population. However, by examining a second locus containing one allele at a frequency of 0.243, we can demonstrate that the likelihood of an individual having both STRs is ~0.6%.
