Imagine you are a forensic investigator giving a presentation to a school assembly. A student asks you, “If people have such a similar genetic makeup, then why do you use DNA to understand whether suspects are innocent or guilty of a crime?” In 1–2 sentences, describe how you might answer the student’s question
I would answer the student's question by stating that while humans share a similar genetic makeup, DNA analysis allows us to identify specific variations and differences within this makeup, which can help establish an individual's unique presence at a crime scene or link them to specific evidence.
