Answer:

DNA fingerprinting or DNA profiling technique

Step-by-step explanation:

The DNA sequence is used in forensics to find the identity of a skeleton. A DNA profile is generated from the skeleton remains. The biological materials that can withstand exposure to intense environmental conditions such as heat, a significant amount of time passes are teeth and skeleton. So large quantities of DNA can be purified from these hard tissues.
