DNA evidence analysis is an imperfect science. Provide two reasons why this may be the case.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Not all DNA that was found at the scene has to be related to the scene.

Explanation:

Just because DNA was found at the scene, that doesn't mean that the person there is actually guilty. For example, in a case where person B is guilty, a strand of hair from Person A could be carried over to another scene on Persons B's clothing.

When human red blood cells are placed in pure water, the cells immediately burst. which process explains what happens to the red
irga5000 [103]
The process of osmosis explains what happened to the cells.

Osmosis is where water molecules will flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, through a partially permeable membrane. Red blood cell is a human cell and have a partially permeable membrane. At the same time, pure water has the highest water potential among all substances, and of course higher than the cytoplasm of the red blood cell, therefore, water molecules will flow from the water to the red blood cell.

So much water has flown to the red blood cells that the cell membrane cannot hold all and eventually the cell bursts. Therefore, the process of osmosis explains this result.
