What are the three regions of a hair that make up its basic structure? Can a person be identified based only on a hair comparison? Why or why not? What are natural fibers? List five (5) examples of natural fibers (examples can be plant and/or animal). What are manufactured fibers? How can an analyst tell the difference between a natural and a manufactured fiber? What are the physical and chemical characteristics of a synthetic (a.k.a. "man-made") fiber that are examined? What is the study of plants and plant remains to aid a criminal investigation known as? What are three (3) examples of botanical evidence that may be used in a criminal investigation?

Which of the following statements is true? If soil does not contain a nutrient that a plant needs to grow, the plant will not be a good source of that nutrient when it's harvested. Humans require less than 100 milligrams of each trace mineral per day. Hair analysis is a reliable method of measuring trace mineral status of individuals. Unlike the major mineral nutrients, the bioavailability of trace minerals is not affected by fiber, phytate, or the individual's need for that mineral.
