Question

Identical twins Romulus and Remus, who are near inseparable and impossible to tell apart, are traveling to Vegas when their double decker bus is involved in a multi-vehicle traffic accident. One of the twins suffers traumatic crushing injuries and is pronounced dead at the scene. The other twin is rushed to a local hospital in critical, but stable condition. Jose is the DSI dispatched to the scene and is charged with notifying either Romulus' and Remus' next of kin of the death. What method of identification should Jose use to tell Romulus from Remus?

Answer 1

Jose should use DNA testing to identify Romulus from Remus.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, Jose should use a method of identification called DNA testing to tell Romulus from Remus. DNA testing is a highly accurate and reliable method of identification that compares the DNA profiles of two individuals to determine if they are identical or fraternal twins. Since Romulus and Remus are identical twins, their DNA profiles would be nearly identical. By comparing the DNA of the surviving twin with the DNA of the deceased twin, Jose can determine which twin is which.
