Part 3 Question 6

Question 6


Picture 1 and 2 shows two adult remains and along with DNA profiling evidences, we can deduce that they are father and son.

However, we can't identify which remain is older based on the photos, but we know that they are both at least 17 years old due to the presence of third molar. Thus, the remains most probably belong to Herman and Adi.

Picture 3 will then belong to Anya since the DNA profile matches the living sister, Tanya.
This is only true if both of them are monozygotic twins, meaning they originate from the same sperm and same ovum, and hence same genetic background.
