Discuss DNA evidence. What are the two types of DNA?
What will be an ideal response?
DNA analysis can be used to positively identify a suspect as a perpetrator or exclude a suspect as a perpetrator. DNA can also be used to confirm the identity of the victim. Mitochondrial DNA (MtDNA) is found in the mitochondrion of each cell and is inherited from an individual's mother only. Nuclear DNA is found in the nucleus of each cell and consists of billions of pairs of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. These pairs are structured in a double helix shape. DNA testing consists of examining locations in the DNA and identifying the base pair sequence pattern that identifies an individual as unique.
