The answer would be: <span>A. Mitochondrial DNA is beneficial in both of these cases
</span>
Mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA is DNA that found in the mitochondrial. Mitochondrial DNA only inherited from mother, so it's relatively unchanged than nuclear DNA that mixed from father and mother. 
Mitochondrial DNA has higher mutation rate in animals because it doesn't have repair mechanism like nuclear DNA. These mutations can be used as a clue for how close the relation of an organism to others.
This makes analyzing the ancestral relationship of organisms that closely or distantly related easier.

Andrew is lactose intolerant. what happens to water movement in the presence of the double sugar, lactose, which remains in the
Juli2301 [7.4K]
When someone is lactose intolerant, it means its intestine cannot absorb lactose, which will stay in the lumen and be consumed by intestinal bacteria and produced gases, that's why intolerant lactose people have flatulence and abdominal pain while eating food with lactose in it.
Let's go back to the question, before being consumed, lactose in the lumen intestine will attract water from the enterocytes to its side by oncotic pressure.

Do not confound oncotic pressure (which concerns macromolecules like sugar or proteins) and osmotic pressure (which concern micromolecules like small ions (sodium potassium and chloride...)).
