A $3,000 bottle of vodka is stolen from a liquor store. Security cameras see a masked, but bare-handed (non-gloved) individual steal the item. The item is later found in an alley with no other evidence. You swab the item and then test for DNA using 3 STR markers (D3S1358, vWA, and FGA). The electropherogram of the results is shown below: From the security camera footage, 3 suspects are identified. Their results for the same 3 STR markers you already tested are shown below (with the alleles simply listed in a table).Suspect PSuspect CSuspect RD3S135810, 1612, 1917, 19vWA12, 2015, 1814, 18FGA16, 2121, 2525, 32Answer the following questions and please number your answers (as opposed to answering everything in a single paragraph or essay). Questions 1-3 relate to the electropherogram. Question 4 is based on the table with genotype results from the three suspects.Based on the results in the electropherogram, how many different peoples’ DNA is on the item? Explain how you came to that conclusion.
Why don’t all 3 markers show the same number of alleles for this sample?
Do you think all of these individuals touched and/or stole the item? Explain.
Based on the results in the table, which (if any) of these three suspects could have committed the crime? Are there any suspects that can be ruled out? Explain your answer for each suspect.
