  1. No, because the mother and father do not share any alleles.
  2. Forensic evidence was not significant but this result was most likely due to a lack of variation in cases with and without evidence. The interaction of race/ethnicity and gender were also important predictors of arrest. Cases with White victims (both male and female) and Black suspects (both male and female) were more likely to result in arrests. Friend/acquaintance victim/suspect relationships were more likely to be charged than stranger homicides and homicide cases where the suspect was arrested within 10 minutes of the incident were also more likely to be charged. Cases with crime scene evidence were approximately 21 times more likely to be charged than those without evidence. However, two issues are important to note. First, all but 12 cases had crime scene evidence, thus, it is not surprising that cases with evidence would be charged at a higher rate. Second, although crime scene evidence was a significant predictor, lab examined evidence was not. Furthermore, the “linking” forensic variable (examined evidence connects the suspect to the crime scene and/or victim) also was not a significant predictor of charging a homicide case. The results indicate that although cases with known relationships between victim and suspect were more likely to be charged they were significantly less likely to result in convictions. In addition, suspects arrested within 10 minutes of the crime incident were less likely to be convicted. Similar to the regression model for charging, none of the lab examined forensic variables were significant predictors of conviction

hope it helps<3
