One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Introduction to Forensic Biology

Forensic biology is the application of biological principles to legal investigations, focusing on the collection, preservation, and analysis of biological evidence such as DNA, blood, and other bodily fluids. Mastering the core concepts of evidence types, chain of custody, and basic DNA profiling is essential for exam success because these form the foundation for more advanced forensic analyses.
