    Re: Forensic Science Trivia Game

    ILoveGregSanders just a heads up this is the forensic science thread, there are treads for both Nick and Greg in the CSI thread. Also if you need to post twice you might want to use the edit button on your first post as two consecutive posts are considered spamming.

    To get the game back on track I am going to post another question:
    What is forensic taphonomy the study of?

    :lol: I meant to put mechanism of death for drowning, which is the cause, and never a promise you are correct. It is an irreversable cerebral anoxia. I was looking for brain and anoxia (lack of oxygen)

    well, the AP, or Acid Phosphatase test is a presumptive test for semen. Are you looking for the reagent that is used? ALS is also a presumptive test that can be used to screen for semen.

    Acid Phosphatase is in abundance in semen (higher concentration)
