Soon after the crime, the police apprehend a suspect and obtain a DNA sample. Which process is most likely to be used to determine whether the blood on the glass belongs to the suspect

Answer 1

STR analysis

Explanation:

1. A short tandem repeat (STR) analysis is a analytic tool and is used in forensic analysis, like criminal identification, it evaluates specific STR regions found on nuclear DNA.

2. A STR is a pattern of two nucleotide or more than two nucleotides that are repeated directly adjacent to one aother.

3. short tandem repeat is more accurate than VNTR fingerprinting and by STR small and partially degraded samples can be analyzed.
