Which method of test must be done to identify a criminal accurately?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a PCR
  2. b ACR
  3. c Finger Printing (FP)
  4. d MRI
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a PCR

With the PCR method accurate identification is possible even from a small sample.

Why the other options are wrong

  • b ACR: ACR is not a method in the book. The right answer is PCR.
  • c Finger Printing (FP): Fingerprinting is the name of the wider method; for today's accuracy the book names PCR.
  • d MRI: MRI takes pictures of the body; it does not identify DNA.
