Forensic and Environmental Applications

Solving Mysteries and Saving Nature

Biochemistry and molecular biology tools aren’t just for medicine—they help in crime-solving and protecting the environment, too.

Forensics

  • DNA fingerprinting identifies suspects and victims.
  • PCR is used to analyze tiny DNA samples from crime scenes.

Environmental Science

  • Bioindicators (like bacteria) detect pollution.
  • Genetic engineering creates microbes that clean up oil spills.

Why It’s Cool

These applications make our world safer and cleaner.

Examples

  • Police solve crimes by matching DNA from evidence.

  • Engineered bacteria break down toxic waste in polluted rivers.
