How does DNA help solve crimes?

In: Genetics, Technology [Edit categories]

Answer:

DNA is something like hair or finger prints, it makes it easier to find the suspect because only one person in the world can have a specific pattern on their finger. Even twins have different ones. Hair can be very different to someone elses. The more clues that direct to one suspect make it easier to find the truth.
