Nobody heeeereeeee, no new medical questions.... I need some work!

haha u can always come up w ur medical mystries

I hope the other forumers come up with some.Originally posted by alfagal:haha u can always come up w ur medical mystries -
Ok..I'll try create one..Originally posted by thinkdifferent:I hope the other forumers come up with some.
The police was called to investigate a murder. Under the fingernails of the victim, they found some DNA that belonged to someone other than the deceased. The DNA matched a known criminal, but that criminal had been executed 2 years earlier. How could this be? -
enzygotic twins?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Ok..I'll try create one..

eh? do they exist?Originally posted by thinkdifferent:enzygotic twins? -
I can only think of identical twins.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Ok..I'll try create one..

That is indeed one possibility but it is so obvious that it should not pose a problem to the police if the executed criminal has a monozygotc twin. It would be the first thing they would consider but no, he does not have a twin. There is yet another explanation.Originally posted by thinkdifferent:enzygotic twins? -
Maybe I should make my scenario a bit clearer. The police found some traces of blood that did not belong to the victim and the DNA from the blood residue perfectly matched the executed criminal.
Answer coming tomorrow....let little ant who likes foensic stuff have a go at this too... -
That is a synonym for monozygotic twin...the twins split from a single zygote, so the genetic makeup is similar...Originally posted by alexkusu:eh? do they exist?
Ah, I just notice little ant has had a go.....will publish answer tomorrow. It is quite simple, really... -

Hmm, why didn't we solve such riddles during my forensic medicine course?
I have few ideas:
1. The executed one and the ccurrent murder have changed their identity. (maybe the victim knew about it and therefore got murdered, to not reveal it?)
2. I have abandoned this idea - the victim digged out the body of the executed one... After 2 years there wouldn't be blood in the body. Unless the body was kept frozen.
3. The executed one was a blood donor and his blood hasn't been used for 2 years and the victim had to eliminate it as it was too old and by aacident came to contact with it.
4. The body of the executed one was really kept frozen and ... nah, no. -

Clones. The clone of the executed criminal.
Seem to have read about this thing somewhere before, but can't remember.
For DNA to match perfectly, I can only think of clones. Identical twins, no matter how identical, won't have a DNA that matches perfectly. -
Cloning a human being is easy in Sgforum but not so easy in practice, although if you do succeed, yes, that's a possibility.
The answer is simple: the murderer had a bone marrow transplant. The donor was the executed prisoner. When you undergo a bone marrow transplant, your blood cells no longer carry your DNA but the DNA of the donor. -
Really ar? I always thought that your body will try to reject the donor's organs or whatever because it doesn't recognize it. So I think it is the same for bone marrow.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Cloning a human being is easy in Sgforum but not so easy in practice, although if you do succeed, yes, that's a possibility.

Yes please, do it fast and painless!Originally posted by alexkusu:execute her! -
For this purpose we have the immunosupressives, medicaments which supress one's immunity. The bad news is, that the person is prone to infections, gets sick easily. It affects the quality of life.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Really ar? I always thought that your body will try to reject the donor's organs or whatever because it doesn't recognize it.

Happy New Year to one and all!

Interested in genetics. What should I study?
Thanks. -
start from basics. Study cell microbiology!
wat kinda gentics? food? like gm crops? -
