1. False - You can alter your DNA so it will appear to be different. 2. What was one of the problems during early blood tests? D. All of these 3. What system used by the FBI compiles DNA of known violent offenders from all over the nation and can be used to match DNA with a sample found at a crime scene? C. CODIS- The Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) has blood samples of offenders and has solved many cases. CODIS solved a 1993 sexual assault case by linking that suspect to a 1991 rape case. 4. A woman gets out of bed, watches TV, talks on the phone, pets her cat, and then shoots her husband. She hides the gun and runs away. Which object would be most useful to the forensic serologist in finding out who the woman was? C. The phone All of these things would help find out who the woman is, but to the forensic serologist, the phone would be the most handy. When you talk on the phone, little bits of saliva go onto the phone when you talk. White blood cells are found in saliva so the woman's DNA would be on the phone. 5. False - Your blood type appears only in your blood. Your blood type appears in bodily fluids other than your blood a lot of the time. About 80% of the population's blood type appears in more than one of their other fluids.
