Answer 1

The correct option is B) STR analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Short-tandem repeats can be described as a repetitive pattern of 2-16 base pairs which is unique to individuals. In molecular biology or forensic studies, STR analysis is done to determine the Short- tandem repeat regions in an individual. This analysis helps to discriminate one DNA from another.

The forensic scientist can use the STR analysis from the blood on the glass and compare it with the STR analysis of possible suspects.
