Lab - DNA Fingerprinting Activity Case 1 1. Was the woman's claim justified? No, the woman’s claim was not justified. 2. Explain how you came to this conclusion. The child and man only match up on a few of the bands, instead of matching up on the ones that don’t match up with the mother. This does not justify that the famous athlete was her son’s father. Case 2 3. On the basis of the evidence is the woman's claim true? On the basis of the evidence, I believe that the woman’s claim is true. 4. Explain how you came to this conclusion. The child seems to be a mix of the mother and father. Nearly all of the child’s bands are present in either the father or the mother. DNA in the Courtroom 5. Using the DNA fingerprint in Figure III on the evidence sheet, determine who killed Jimmy solo. Who was it? Lucifer - Jimmy's bodyguard who is extremely jealous of Jimmy's wealth. 6. Explain how you came to this conclusion. The DNA pattern for suspect 3 is practically identical to the bloodstain. 7. How confident can you be that this individual is indeed guilty? I am quite confident in Lucifer as being guilty. None of the other 6 suspects line up very well at all with the bloodstain.
