Link, Line, Grid, Zone, Spiral, or Ray
Used on large, outdoor crime scenes. Members of the search team are arranged at regular intervals, usually arm’s length, and then proceed to search along straight lines.
Line Method
Give an example of trace evidence
Hair, fibers, fingerprints, tiny glass shards, plant material
Blood is made of these 4 things:
red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma
How many rings does a purine have? Pyrimidines?
Purine has 2 rings.
Pyrimidine has 1 ring.
What is the blood type?
AB-
Blood testing done at a crime scene that show blood but it sometimes returns false positives
Presumptive testing
What can typically happen to heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, or respiratory rate during a polygraph if someone is lying?
They can increase
NOTE: not all of those vitals have to increase. An increase in even one vital sign can show deception.
What is hemoglobin and where is it found?
Protein that carries oxygen.
Found in red blood cells.
What makes up the DNA backbone?
Sugar and phosphate
What are the 4 base pairs and how do they pair?
Adenine - Thymine
Cytosine - Guanine
Link, Strip, Grid, Zone, Spiral, or Ray
Searchers follow the first line pattern and search in the same manner as the line method. Once the first line pattern is complete, searchers realign on the other line pattern.
Grid Method
Loop
These parts of the blood can stop bleeding. I want the fancy name for these that ends in -cytes
Thrombocytes
What is the charge on a phosphate group in the DNA backbone?
Negative
A person with A- blood had a very severe blood clot after receiving A+ blood. Why did this happen?
A- blood produces Rh antibodies. A+ blood has the Rh antigen on its cells. The Rh antibodies attacked the Rh antigen on the A+ blood.
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Whorl
What is an antigen and antibody?
Antigen: the marker on the outside of the cell that helps determine blood type
Antibody: protein that attacks specific antigens
What is the monomer of DNA?
Nucelotide
What organism makes restriction enzymes?
Bacteria
When looking at a polygraph, vitals don't always have to increase with a lie. During a polygraph, sometimes respiration can drop. Why?
When people are about to lie, they may try to slow their breathing to decrease their physiological responses and "trick" the polygraph.
Label all three parts of the hair
1. Cuticle
2. Cortex
3. Medulla
A person has O- blood. What antigens and antibodies do they have?
They have no antigens. They have A, B, and Rh antibodies.
What are the three parts of a nucleotide?
Sugar, phosphate, nitrogen base
What does PCR do?
Makes copies of DNA fragments after DNA has been cut with restriction enzymes
