DNA evidence analysis is an imperfect science. Provide two reasons why this may

Biology

HACTEHA [7]1 year ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Imperfect science can be described as the scientific study of a research/field that is not complete or is characterized with a number of faults. While there are many scientific research fields or focus that fall under this category (because scientists are constantly seeking to improve existing knowledge of various scientific field), let's limit our scope to DNA evidence analysis.

DNA evidence testing for instance is very expensive which makes it difficult (in most cases) for victims to request for it in cases of crime (except requested by the government). For instance, if a killing that involves a struggle was done in a small neighborhood of about a 100 people with no visual confirmation of the killer but just some blood samples of the killer, DNA evidence testing might still not be used in a case like this despite the  crime happening in a relatively small community.

Also, since DNA evidence testing relies on the gene and there is a lot of research going on at the moment on genes (including gene mapping and locus system) which can assist to lower the number of suspects by predicting the origins of suspects. It should be noted that reducing the number of suspects reduces the amount that will be spent on DNA analysis of the suspects (since there are fewer suspects).

You are operating a powerboat at night. Your red sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from which direction(s)?
Degger [83]
I believe the answer is head-on and port (left). The side lights are usually visible to vessels approaching from the front or the side. The red light usually indicates a vessel's port (left) side while the green light indicates a vessel's starboard (right) side. These lights ensure that there is safety at night as the vessels navigate.

In Kerr and Wright's experiment with 96 fruit-fly populations, only 4 males and 4 females bred in each generation. After 16 gene
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation:

The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.

Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.

How have scientists determined the earth's core is composed of iron and nickel?
Sedaia [141]
<span>The correct option from the given options is: "Scientist have determined the composition of Earth's core by using radiometric dating to examine meteorites".
</span><span>To date materials the procedure of radiometric dating or radioactive dating is used, for example, rocks or carbon, in which trace radioactive impurities were specifically fused when they were framed. The strategy looks at the abundance of a normally happening radioactive isotope inside the material to the abundance of its decay items, which shape at a known consistent rate of decay.</span>

Which data are MOST useful for analyzing the climate of the region?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D.

Explanation:

According to some scientists, a climate of a region is an average of the weather for a specific region for a particular period, which is more often 30 years or over.

SO, according to the options and the given information above, the measuring average temperature for 30 years of the month of July is most helpful in analyzing the climate of a specific region.
