Question

1.      In examining the skeletal remains, is there information about each that you would not be able to determine from the extracted DNA? Provide an example. Answer:​

Answer 1

Answer:

THERE is considerable anthropological and forensic interest in the possibility of DNA typing skeletal remains. Trace amounts of DNA can be recovered even from 5,500-year-old bones and multicopy human mitochondrial DNA sequences can frequently be amplified from such DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)1,2.
