Who Robbed the Bank?
DNaESCAPE GAME
start
THE MISSION
A robbery takes place at a bank. As the thief escapes the building, a security guard grabs one of the bank robber's gloves. The bank robber leaves the scene in a phone service van. The phone company identifies three employees who may have been in the vicinity of the bank at the time of the robbery. All employees deny robbing the bank. Can you think of some way, besides witness testimony, that the bank robber could be identified from among the three individuals?

Were any clues left at the crime scene?
THE BANK
We all leave DNA behind every where we go! DNA can identify people — even better than fingerprints. DNA is found in all of our cells: hair, teeth, bones, blood and skin. Though all humans share 99.9% of their genes, our DNA differs from everyone else's by three million nucleotide base pairs.Inside the glove, your team found a hair from the bank robber. Which part of the hair contains DNA?
