The correct answer is (c). The first crime ever solved using the DNA finger printing technique was in England in 1983.<\/p>\n
In 1983, a man named Colin Pitchfork was convicted of the rape and murder of two teenage girls in Leicestershire, England. Pitchfork was the first person to be convicted of a crime using DNA evidence.<\/p>\n
The DNA evidence used to convict Pitchfork was collected from semen found at the crime scenes. The semen was analyzed by Alec Jeffreys, a British geneticist who developed the technique of DNA fingerprinting.<\/p>\n
Jeffreys’s technique allowed scientists to compare the DNA from the semen to the DNA of potential suspects. In Pitchfork’s case, the DNA evidence matched Pitchfork’s DNA, which led to his conviction.<\/p>\n
The use of DNA evidence in criminal investigations has become increasingly common since Pitchfork’s conviction. DNA evidence has been used to solve a wide variety of crimes, including murder, rape, and burglary.<\/p>\n
DNA evidence is a powerful tool that can be used to identify criminals and exonerate the innocent. It is a valuable tool for law enforcement and has helped to make our communities safer.<\/p>\n
The other options are incorrect because they are not the year in which the first crime was solved using DNA finger printing technique.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
