This is a web based article that was written to show how research students were able to use DNA fingerprinting from a very expensive poached tree to match it with parts of the tree left when the tree was cut down to solve a crime. The link to the article is at the top of the document with 10 short answer questions about tree poaching and DNA fingerprinting. An answer key is provided. This assignment would work well in Forensic Science, Biology and Ecology. It would also make a great lesson on a day you will be out and need a lesson for a sub.
