Deoxyribonucleic acid
99.9% blueprint Sperm
Cytosine Epithelial cells Organs
Adenine Strands thymine
The genetic 1. blueprint of life is found in very cell of the human body
which contains a 2. nucleus . Short for 3. Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA is
located in 4. chromosomes found within the nucleus of most cells. DNA is
composed of long, tightly coiled 5. strands which contain in humans,
approximately 3.3 billion base pairs in a single molecule.
These long strands of DNA are simply a combination of four different bases
named 6. Adenine, 7. Cytosine, 8. Guanine, and 9. Thymine (abbreviated “
A, “C, ‘G and T).
Approximately 10. 99.9 % of the sequence of these 3.3 billion bases in

identical for all humans and performs the same function. However,
approximately 1/1000 of the sequence of the DNA molecule is different
among individual, with the exception of 11. Identical twins 12. blood 13.
sperm 14. hair roots 15. bone 16. teeth 17. organs 18. muscles and other
tissues all contain DNA which can be tested by forensic scientists.

4. All of the above.
Test II. Answer the following questions comprehensively. Provide an
enough space for your answer below. (10 points)
1. From which biological evidences could you think is the most

common and subjected for DNA analysis and why?
- The most common biological evidence subjected to DNA
analysis is blood. This is primarily because blood contains
a high concentration of nucleated cells, which possess
DNA that can be extracted and analyzed. Blood samples
are also relatively easy to collect from crime scenes and
provide a wealth of genetic information that can be
crucial for identifying individuals, linking suspects to
crimes, or exonerating the innocent. Additionally, blood
can often be preserved and analyzed even after significant
time has passed, making it a reliable source for forensic
DNA analysis.
2. How to collect and preserve sample evidence for DNA

analysis?
- To collect and preserve sample evidence for DNA
analysis, it is essential to follow meticulous procedures to
prevent contamination and degradation. First,
investigators should wear gloves and use sterile tools,
such as swabs or tweezers, to collect samples, ensuring
that they avoid touching any surfaces that could introduce
foreign DNA. Samples should be collected from various
sources, such as blood, saliva, or skin cells, and placed in
clean, labeled containers—preferably paper envelopes or
boxes, as plastic can trap moisture and promote bacterial
growth. Each sample must be clearly marked with
relevant details, including the date, time, location, and
collector's information. After collection, samples should
be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight,
and transported to the laboratory as quickly as possible to
preserve the integrity of the DNA. In addition,
maintaining a proper chain of custody throughout the
collection and storage process is critical to ensuring that
the evidence remains admissible in court.
