Who's Who?

Here we are again, welcome back folks! :)

After some time of investigation, we have successfully collected several evidence which we can finally use to connect the dots!

"Question 5

Match the photos of the victims’ pieces of evidence, explaining your rationale for doing so. "

Based on our previous episode on deciphering the jaws & skull found, we finally got our hands on the list of potential victims shortlisted by our Forensic Analyst. Aren't you eager to know which belongs to who? Look at that anticipation on your face!

Without further ado, quench your thirst of excitement with the below MTI Goodness!

Glossary

Antemortem: Before death.

Autopsy: An autopsy is a postmortem assessment or examination of a body to determine the cause of death. An autopsy is performed by a physician trained in pathology.

Botany: The scientific study of plants.

Ballistics: Of relating to the study of the dynamics of projectiles and of the internal actions of firearms.

Cranial Vault:Combination of skull bones that encase the brain.

Electrophoresis : A method of separating molecules by their size through the application of an electric field, causing molecules to migrate at a rate and distance dependent on their size. It not only separates DNA but also allows for the fragments to be measured, often expressed in base pairs. Measuring the length of these fragments can ultimately allow the number of repeats to be determined and thus the genotype at that locus.

Eversion: The position of being turned outward

Entomology: the scientific study of insects.

Mandible: The jaw or a jawbone, esp. the lower jawbone.

Odontologist: The study of the structure,development and abnormalities of the teeth.

Periapical: At or around the apex of a root of a tooth

Pathology: The scientific study of the nature of disease and its causes, processes, development and consequences. Also known as pathobiology.

Postmortem: An examination of a dead body to determine the cause of death

Single nucleotide polymorphisms : The simplest and most common type of genetic variation, composing around 90% of genetic variation in humans. They occur during meiosis when DNA is replicated, with each single nucleotide polymorphism representing a difference in a single nucleotide. For example, a single nucleotide polymorphism may replace cytosine with a thymine in a stretch of DNA, and this will not change the length of the DNA.

Supraorbital:Situated above the orbit of the eye

Suture: A type of fibrous joint which only occurs in the skull

Spheno-occipital synchondrosis:Cartilaginous junction between sphenoid and occipital bone

Torus Palatinae:A bony protrusion on the palate.
