DNA and Forensic Genetics

1. An organism with identical pairs of alleles
4. Genetic variations in the DNA, it can be due to differences in the length or sequence of the DNA.
9. The specific physical location of a gene on a chromosome
10. an individual who has two different alleles for a specific trait.
12. the Y-chromosome and its genetic
13. New sequencing technology (Nextgeneration sequencing technique) that enables the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of genetic markers in a high throughput manner, with higher sensitivity since millions or even billions of copies of the DNA are sequenced in parallel.
15. an alternative form of a gene.

2. due to their length polymorphism due to the difference in the number of repetitions of a short sequence of the DNA.
3. Each DNA molecule must be tightly packaged. This packaged form of the DNA is called a__________.
5. _________ DNA is transmitted exclusively through the maternal line.
6. is shared between individuals from the same ________ lineage.
7. The cellular organelle in eukaryotes that contains nuclear DNA.
8. a specific trait.
11. Segments of the DNA studied in Forensic
14. deoxyribonucleic Acid; The genetic material of organisms, usually double-stranded.
