False
Anthropology is the study of human beings, their behavior, societies, and cultures, while forensic anthropology specifically focuses on the examination of human skeletal remains and other evidence to assist in criminal investigations. The study of diseases and their effects on the body falls under the field of medical anthropology, not general anthropology.

Bioinformatics is indeed a tool used in medicine and forensic science that enables the rapid manipulation and analysis of large datasets, particularly in relation to biological data such as DNA sequences. It allows researchers and professionals to identify patterns, make comparisons, and derive insights efficiently.

DNA profiling is often referred to as DNA fingerprinting because, just like fingerprints, each individual's DNA profile is unique (except for identical twins). This analogy helps convey the idea that DNA can be used to identify individuals in a similar way to how fingerprints are used.
