Question

you are working at a forensic lab and you collected a small DNA sample from the crime scene and you need to determine whether it belongs to the suspect ou are working at a forensic lab and you collected a small DNA sample from the crime scene and you need to determine whether it beliongs to the suspect. You wil using PCR, then the colony. Then harvest the DNA and sequence the fragment Compare the sequence of that random fragment to a PCR. Then you will run that amplified DNA in a electrophoresis gal one more time and compare it to the band you obtained initially

Explanation / Answer

Option is three is used to determine the suspect

   The identification of DNA sample includes steps sample collection, extraction and quantitation of DNA. The DNA is extracted from the sample collected using restriction enzymes and electrophoresis is run to get different fragments these fragments are amplified using PCR these amplified sequence of DNA is separated using the electrophoresis gel technique making the DNA visible, the DNA obtained is used to compare with that of suspect DNA.
