Microscopic analysis is the most reliable method of matching hair samples to a suspect. True False

Biology
1 answer:
Genrish500 [490]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer is <em>false</em>.

Explanation:

Although very popular in crime novels and TV shows, microscopic hair analysis isn't as reliable as it may seem. It was widely used during 1950-s and 1960-s as the best test to match a hair sample with the suspect, but modern tests proved it to be wrong. Microscopic analysis can give some information about the hair sample such as origin (human, animal or synthetic fiber), color, pigment distribution... For example, if the hair sample found was brown, and the suspect was black-haired, we could claim that he was Innocent. But if the found hair was black, does that mean that we could be absolutely sure that the suspect is guilty? Of course not, microscopic analysis can not provide evidence for that claim. On the other hand, the best method for matching biological samples, at the present time, is DNA analysis.

Predict what the results would be if mrna were radioactively labeled instead of polypeptides
Vikentia [17]
What  would  happen  if  M RNA   were  radio actively  labeled  instead  of  polypeptides  is   that    instead  of  one  seeing  the  DNA  passing  through  all  the  molecular  factories  you  will  instead see  just  messenger  RNA   taking  code  and   delivering  it  to  Ribosome.  This  is  mainly  found   in   cytoplasm  and  Endoplasmic  recticulums.
