Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 21ESP
Following the tragic shooting of 20 children at a school in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, Connecticut’s state medical examiner requested a full genetic analysis of the killer’s genome. What do you think investigators might be looking for? What might they expect to find? Might this analysis lead to oversimplified analysis of the cause of the tragedy?

The following shows the results of DNA profiling from a rape case. The evidence sample (S) consists of a mixture of DNA from the victim (V) and the DNA of the rapist(s). DNA is taken from four likely suspects (who were present at the same party as the victim on the night of the crime), Alan (A), Brad (B), Charle (C), and Don (D). The results of typing for two different polymorphic loci are shown.
1)Which person is homozygous for locus 1?
A. Alan
B. Brad
C. Charlie
D. Don
E. Victim
Mr. I. M. Megabucks, the wealthiest man in the world, recently died. Since his death, three women have come forward. Each woman claims to have a child by Megabucks and demands a substantial share of his estate for her child. Lawyers for the estate have insisted on DNA typing of each of the alleged heirs. Fortunately, Megabucks anticipated trouble like this before he died, and he arranged to have a sample of his blood frozen for DNA typing. The results of the typing are shown in the figure below. Your job is to analyze the data and determine whether any of the children could be Megabucks' heir. Remember that every person has two of each chromosome, one inherited from his mother and one inherited from his father. Half of every person's DNA comes from his mother, and half comes from his father, so some of the DNA bands showing in the children will come from their mothers, and the rest will come from their fathers. The question is, could that father be Megabucks?
For the first child,…
