SEMESTER 2 Toxicology/Drug Testingo Know some of the signs and symptoms of drugs/poisons o names of tests specific to different drugs/poisons o Describe and explain the process of chromatography, o Understand the use of color tests as a screening test for a drug and which tests are used for specific drugs o Explain the how the route of administration o Understand the significance of finding a drug in human tissues and how it relates to assessing impairment. ARSON – CHAPTER 13 o Define: accelerant, combustion, endothermic reaction, exothermic reaction, energy, hydrocarbon, flash point, ignition temperature, modus operandi, oxidation, pyrolysis, spontaneous combustion. o List three parts of the fire triangle o Recognize the signs of an accelerant –initiated fire o Describe how to collect physical evidence at the scene of a suspected arson. FORENSIC SEROLOGY – CHAPTER 8 o Define: agglutination, allele, antibody, antigen, antiserum, aspermia, chromosome, egg, DNA, erythrocyte, gene, genotype, hemoglobin, heterozygous, homozygous, Kastle- Meyer test, locus, luminol, phenotype, plasma, polymorphism, serology, serum, X-chromosome, Y-chromosome, zygote o Name the four blood types in the ABO system and how they react when mixed during a transfusion. o Be able to complete a Punnett square to determine the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring. o What is the Rh factor and what does it mean to be Rh positive or negative? o Define antigen and antibody and explain the antigen-antibody complex and how it is applied to species identification and drug testing. THE CRIME SCENE – CHAPTER 10 o Define: Chain of custody, finished sketch, rough sketch, standard/reference sample o Know the responsibilities of the first officer at the scene. o Explain the steps taken to thoroughly record the crime scene. o Define and understand chain-of-custody o What types of photographs are taken of each piece of evidence? o Compare the two types of sketches. What is the main purpose of each? o What is the proper why to make measurements? o Explain how the following blood spatter patterns appear: walking drip, running drip, transfer pattern, cast-off, wipe, swipe, high velocity spatter, medium velocity spatter, arterial bleed spatter. o How can the angle of impact be determined from a blood droplet? o Given a blood stain, be able to determine both directionality and angle of impact. o Know the proper preservation of blood and semen stains. DNA ANALYSISo Define: amino acids, chromosome, complementary base pairing, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), electrophoresis, restriction enzymes, short tandem repeat (STR), Y-STR. o Name the parts of a nucleotide and how they fit together to form DNA. o Define restriction enzyme, how they work and their importance to DNA analysis. o Define polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and explain why it has revolutionized DNA analysis. o Understand the use of CODIS in a criminal investigation FINGERPRINTING – Handout and CSI lab o Define: arch, loop, whorl, subcategories, delta, core, latent fingerprint, ninhydrin, bifurcation, ridge ending, enclosure, AFIS o Know the three basic fingerprint patterns o Understand what AFIS is and how it helps to identify prints o The importance of the fact that fingerprints are unique to each individual, remain unchanged during a person’s lifetime and can be systematically classified. o List reasons why prints make good evidence and also what some of the common problems are.
