Maxtor Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Hi. I've got an interesting question. In the CSI rebroadcast 2-3 weeks ago this dialogue about DNA test results occurred. Gil Grissom (supervisor) speaking to Greg, the technician: "Do you have the DNA results?" Greg: "yes, there are 7 out of 13 matches" Grissom: "that means they are related" Greg: "more than that, they are parent and child" Grissom: "yes" a. Why is this conclusion wrong? b. What should the dialogue be to reach this conclusion? Alternatively, what other conclusion would these data support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 First off, you have to define "matches" I assume that it means gene banding matches on an electrophoresis gel, but what gene are they referring to? Without this inforamtion, the word "matches" means virtually nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
