Solved by a verified expert:Forensic Science and Allele RepeatesA group of 6 bodies is found buried in the woods, three
adult males, one adult female, and two children. They are thought to include a
missing family (2 parents and 2 children). DNA is extracted from the skeletal
remains and analyzed for two STR markers using PCR. In the results below, the
numbers indicate the number of tandem repeats in an allele (e.g., at STR 1
Child 1 has one allele with 7 repeats and one with 8).STR1 STR2Male 1 8/9 5/7Male 2 6/8 5/5Male 3 7/10 7/7Female 8/8 3/5Child 1 7/8 5/7Child 2 8/8 3/7A) Could the female have been the mother of both the
