Forensic anthropology and other sciences are key to finding the true cause of a person’s death. Without forensics‚ solving crimes would be very difficult because of the lack of evidence from various sources. Some biologists are specially trained and educated in molecular biology and can study a person’s DNA (Ferlini 17). Identifying

Polymorphism is a method used to study DNA. One of the reasons that this test became less useful is because it requires an excessive amount of DNA. Critical Thinking Questions Why do you think DNA has had such an impact on forensic science? I think DNA is such an important factor of forensic science because it could lead you to the suspect in charge of the crime. What do you think would be some of the challenges in collecting DNA evidence? How would you overcome these challenges? I think some of the
