Best Answer

Forensic investigators use genetic markers that vary from person to person. Thus, if all of the genetic markers in the DNA from a crime scene are identical to the genetic markers in the DNA from one of the suspects, that is good evidence that the suspect and crime scene DNA came from the same individual.

Should you hire a private investigator to find out if your boyfriend is still with his wife?

Yes, you can hire an investigator to find out if your boyfriend is still with his wife. Investigators are not cheap so try to pick one week or even a weekend if you suspect he sees his wife at those times to find out. Often retired police officers are private investigators so phone around and ask their rates.


How does gel electrophoresis is used to make a DNA fingerprint?

Gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragment on the basis of their size. In DNA fingerprinting or DNA typing given sample is cut up with restriction enzymes and run through electrophoresis and results are analyzed to check for DNA polymorphism between the given sample and a sample form suspect. In nutshell gel electrophoresis is boon for the people in forensics.


Who invented forensics?

The first police force was created in ancient Rome. The first use of science to solve a crime occured in a small Asian village about 800 years ago. A man was killed with a shovel. An individual investigating asked all the men in the village to bring their shovels to the town square and hold them spade up. When flies arrived at one shovel, looking for traces of blood and brain matter, the investigator found his suspect and modern forensics was born. Forensics was later advanced when a French police inspector discovered that no two individuals share the same fingerprints.
