33. Why has STR (short tandem repeat) analysis replaced RFLP DNA typing? (4 reasons)
1. Increased sensitivity and ability to analyze degraded DNA.
2. Faster processing times and results.
3. Greater discriminatory power in distinguishing between individuals.
4. Ability to analyze multiple loci simultaneously.
34. The separation of STRs using capillary electrophoresis evolved from the Silver method.
35. True or False: There is more mtDNA in a cell than there is nuclear DNA.
36. Means to detect the amelogenin gene are included in commercial STR kits used in crime labs because the gene allows determination of sex.
37. The discriminating power of mtDNA is less than the discriminating power of STR analysis.
38. CODIS is a national system of shared databases of DNA typing information from convicted felons and crime scene evidence.
39. HV1 and HV2 are regions of mitochondrial DNA.
40. Y-STR markers are useful when multiple males are involved in a sexual assault. If three men are involved in such an attack, the investigators would expect Y-STR analysis to show a maximum of three peaks.
