Why is this important for my course?

Forensic Science students benefit from mastering these terms because much of their work involves analysing biological materials and understanding cellular and molecular evidence at crime scenes. DNA analysis, enzyme activity, and cell structure are at the heart of techniques like fingerprint enhancement, tissue identification, and establishing links between suspects and crime scenes. A solid grasp of biological principles ensures that forensic scientists can interpret evidence accurately, uphold scientific integrity, and contribute to the pursuit of justice.

Understanding how organelles coordinate protein synthesis Protein synthesis knowledge is vital for forensic science students as it aids in the interpretation of biological evidence. Proteins are often analysed in forensic investigations to identify individuals, understand cause of death, or determine time since death. Recognising how proteins are made, modified, and degraded within cells can help forensic scientists choose appropriate tests, interpret molecular findings, and contribute to the accurate reconstruction of crime scenes or investigation of suspicious deaths.

Forensic Science students benefit from understanding prokaryotic cells because bacteria can be used in forensic investigations to estimate time of death, trace biological evidence, or understand post-mortem changes. Microbial forensics is an emerging discipline, and a solid grasp of bacterial structure and genetics is necessary for analysing and interpreting microbiological evidence at crime scenes.

Forensic Science students rely on microscopy to examine evidence such as hair, fibres, biological fluids, and trace particles, which can be pivotal in criminal investigations. Mastery of different types of microscopy enables them to select the right technique for distinct types of evidence, ensuring accurate and defensible results that can withstand scrutiny in a legal context.
