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.

Why do scientists use a light year to measure distances in space?Do you think there is a better way to measure distance? Explain
leva [86]
Scientists use the light year because nothing can travel fast than light. Therefore, in any given time frame, light will travel farther than any other substance or particle in the universe. For more precise measurements, scientists use astronomical units. One AU is equal to the distance between the earth and the sun. For anything less, scientists usually use kilometers. For extremely large, interstellar distances, light years are very useful. You wouldn’t want to measure the distance between Earth and Proxima Centauri in kilometers or even AU. The lightyear gives a simple, relative measurement.

Answer:

Dopamine

Explanation:

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative, progressive disorder that affects nerve cells in parts of the brain called the basal ganglia and the substantia nigra.

The neurotransmitter dopamine is produced by nerve cells in the substantia nigra and these nerve cells function in relaying information from the brain that plan and control body movement. In Parkinson's disease, the dopamine-producing nerve cells of the substantia nigra begin to die off . Symptoms such as tremor, impaired movement, stiffness, and balance problems occur when the loss of nerve cells is about 80%

Define mutation by using the phrase DNA code
