Who killed Clotilda? Polymerase Chain reaction for forensic science
Write a one-page affidavit identifying the killer for the court. To justify your identification, note where the DNA samples came from, describe how PCR analysis works (the components, their roles, and the purpose of each step in the reactions), and explain how you came to your conclusion.The Affidavit does not have to be an official formatted document.

Purpose:
To explore the science and methodology of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its applications in forensic science
Review evidence from a hypothetical criminal investigation and examine PCR profiles of several potential suspects
Compose an affidavit identifying the suspect and the supporting PCR evidence
The steps to follow:
Research the technique and science of PCR, using the suggested videos, and complete DNA Analysis: PCR (file can be found above).
