Based on the above analysis, do any of the suspect samples of DNA seem to be from the same individual as the DNA from the crime scene? Describe the scientific evidence that supports your claim.
Explanation / Answer
I don't think so
Here, no suspect is matching with your crime scene. Typically, in DNA profiling or fingerprinting, a small set of DNA variations that is very likely to be different in unrelated individuals, it is unique to individuals as are fingerprints can be identified. Here, if your one of the suspects is admitted to that crime, you should get a similar length of DNA fragments as observed in crime scene lane, when it was digested with above-mentioned restriction enzymes. But such a scene was not appeared here so that no one suspect is related to that crime scene.
