Question

you can potentially get DNA evidence off of a hair directly would you be able to get DNA evidence off of a garment, like a sweater for example? Do you think that you could confuse the dna of the person wearing the sweater with the dna of the animal whose wool it came from?

00:01 Hello students in the given question it is asked is it possible to determine whether hair came from a deceased individual? determination of hair belonging to a deceased individual or not it is possible by using dna fingerprinting techniques dna sequence can be determined by using rflp rapid and pcr.
00:32 Rflp stands for restriction fragment length polymer.
00:37 Rapif for randomly amplified polymaphic dna and pcr stands for polymerase chain reaction which is used for determination of dna sequence let us move to the second question can dna individual is human hair dna can be used for individualization of human hair this can be done because each individual has specific dna in their hair by sequencing the dna finger by using dna fingerprinting techniques and comparing it with the standards.
01:21 Identification of the individual can be done here.
01:24 Now moving to the next question.
01:26 Body area from which the hair originated can be determined.
01:31 Determination of gene expression can be done by using rtpr, cdna libraries and in -situ hybridization.
01:40 Body area from which the hair origin has occurred can be determined...
