Scientists might extract DNA for many reasons.

  • In a homicide case, or a case in which an unidentified body has been found, scientists extract DNA from the bones (if only bones are found) to identify Null.

  • To check for birth defects in humans or animals.

*In an unidentified creature, scientists will want to check all deails

*etc.
