Green+C+DNA+Forensics

PCR- **Polymerase Chain Reaction**- techniques used to make copies of DNA - "amplification" Advantage- the amplification processs can be limited to specific areas of the sequence DNA- genetic instructions RFLP- is accurate because it focuses on what is different among us DNA can be found in cells (blood, hair roots, sweat, semen, various tissues) all the cells have the same DNA Two types of DNA (mitochondrial and nuclear)- mitochondrial comes from mother; nuclear DNA comes from both parents
