1. Look at the approximate size of the fragments. Do most of them fall between the 369-801 size range?

2. Considering your results, do you think this protocol alone could be used to link a suspect with a crime or establish a paternity relationship? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes, most of the bands fall within the range of 369-801 bp. Few bands in lane 5 are outside the range of 369-801 bp. Answer 2. Yes, the protocol can be used to link a suspect with a crime or establish a paternity relationship. This is because the target gene is consistently amplified in all the samples.
