What does the morphology of hair tell forensic scientists

Advanced Placement (AP)

RSB [31]3 years ago

Historically, hair has been considered class evidence because a hair specimen could not be identified with certainty as having originated from a particular person. A forensic scientist who studied the morphology (shape, form, and structure) of a hair specimen could testify as to the gross physical characteristics of the hair (color, degree of curl, etc.), its internal and external structural characteristics, the likely somatic region from which the hair originated (scalp, beard, pubic, axillary, etc.), and–at least for scalp hair, and often for pubic hair, the probable race of the person from whom the hair originated. But all of those are class characteristics rather than individual characteristics, so the most the forensic scientist can state based on morphological examination is that a hair specimen is “consistent with” or “similar in all respect to” another specimen.

The last sentence of the first paragraph (“That . . . month’s rent”) primarily serves to
horrorfan [7]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. The remaining part of the question reads;

the first paragraph;

<em>I spent my teens and much of my twenties collecting printed rejections. Early on, my mother lost $61.20—a reading fee charged by a so-called agent to look at one of my unpublished stories. No one had told us that agents weren’t supposed to get any money upfront, weren’t supposed to be paid until they sold your work. Then they were to take ten percent of whatever the work earned. Ignorance is expensive. That $61.20 was more money back then than my mother paid for a month’s rent.</em>

The last sentence of the first paragraph (“That . . . month’s rent”) primarily serves to

A. <em>justify an action by invoking an ethical principle</em>

B. clarify a point by defining an ambiguous term

C. show how anecdotal evidence supports a claim

<em>D. provide meaningful context for a revealing statistic</em>

<em>E. demonstrate that a common practice has harmful effect</em>

Answer:

<u><em>D. provide a meaningful context for a revealing statistic</em></u>

Explanation:

By saying, "<em>That $61.20 was more money back then than my mother paid for a month’s rent" </em>the narrator had revealed a very interesting statistic about the value of money back then.

In other words, the context surrounding the statement helps the average reader quickly understand that a month's rent used to be <em>lesser</em> than $61.20; very interesting statistics at that.
