How does DNA analysis help identify or eliminate criminal suspects?

DNA fingerprint is very specific to an individual. You can pinpoint the individual person by DNA finger print. By collecting the semen from the victim of the rape, you can identify the criminal, very precisely. From very small sample of material from the nails of the victim, you can pin point the killer, by doing the DNA finger printing. By the same theory, you can eliminate the person, who has not done the crime.


How long ofter finger print it take to get ten year green card?

The exact time cannot be said but since the finger print results are good only for a year you can expect to get the green card within a year. So its important to do finger printing as close a date as possible and have the valid results handy during the green card interview process.

No. A cut (or even several) on the finger does not change the whorls and ridges of a fingerprint enough to disguise a print.


What does it mean to secure a crime scene and why is it important?

As far as I know, it means to tape off the area with police tape, (it is yellow with 'Do Not Cross' in black letters). It is to keep unofficial persons out of the area so that evidence of any kind, or any parts/items of the scene, is not moved or removed in any way.
