For what purpose is mitochondrial genomics used

The mitochondrial genome is particularly used in the genetics of human populations, or in agronomy, as a genetic marker for evolutionary biology.

The mitochondrial genome encodes the proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation, as well as its rRNAs and tRNAs.

During evolution, the mitochondria has conserved their own genome. It is essential for the proper functioning of these organelles, which is the production of cellular energy.

The mitochondria are famously known as the powerhouse of the cell since it is the one that gives the cells energy that is also used by the human being. This energy conversion is called oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria are found in eukaryotic cells, including humans. These organelles also had its own genome, or what we called as DNA which is known as mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA which is present in the mitochondrial matrix. The role of mtDNA or mitochondrial DNA is to convert the energy from food into any other forms that it thinks the cell can use. It is containing 37 genes which are all necessary for a normal mitochondrial function.

Competition without division of resources may lead to

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Competition without division of resources may lead to extinction.

Explanation:

Some species are better adapted to live in an environment as compared to other species. If resources become scarce then the species with better traits might take up all the resources of a species which are not better adapted. This will cause the species with unfavourable traits to become extinct. To survive in an environment, an organism needs to change and adapt according to the conditions of the environment. Otherwise, the species will become extinct.

Answer:

Tendon or a connective tissue

Explanation:

Tendons are a type of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bones. They are strong, fibrous and flexible. They also attach muscles to other organs. Tendons have a high tensile strength which is useful to withstand muscle contractions. They are made up of bundles of connective tissue that contribute to its strength.

Describing how is the cells group is the process of multiplication of cell or the so-called cell division, mitosis. This mechanism of each cell produces another cell that binds together and produces again, repeatedly, to be a larger system called now the tissue as explained earlier. How? Through cell division called, mitosis. Excerpt meiosis –cell division specifically in the sex cells.

In order for this code to represent a piece of DNA, which base must be replaced by thymine?

HACTEHA [7]

I guess you forgot to add the picture or so.
Based on the Complementarity of the 4 nucleotides, The thymine must always be placed in front of the Adenine, and the Cytosine must always be placed in front of the Guanine.
Any change in this rule causes the deformation of the DNA, and can sometimes cause fatal diseases like the melanoma (skin cancer) etc...

Hope this Helps! :)
