One of the benefits of bite mark analysis is that clear bruising from a perimortem bite persists for weeks after the victim has died. a. True
b. False

False. Bite marks persist for hours, not weeks.

Explanation:

In a dead body, the marks left by a bite do not persist for a long time. In general,

if the bite was produced when the victim was still alive, the marks are recognizable for a period of 4 to 36 hoursif the bite was done after the individual´s death, then these marks might persist for a period between 12 and 24 hours after the victim was bitten.

Also, it is important to consider that dehydration and putrefaction originate retraction of tissues and modify the original aspect of the bite.

   

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
