Forensic DNA fingerprinting has become a universally accepted crime‐fighting tool
Recent advances use the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify human DNA obtained from crime scenes
This experiment, based on a crime scene scenario, has an inquiry‐based component
In this kit, students will solve a crime using real DNA
This ready‐to‐load kit means you can quickly teach DNA fingerprinting in your class and show your students how DNA evidence is used in modern Forensics
This experiment allows for varied results depending on the selection of DNA fingerprinting patterns
