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.

Compared to stars viewed with the unaided eye, stars viewed with telescope appear
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Stars viewed with a telescope appear a lot closer than viewed with an unaided eye. That is because telescopes are basically magnifying glasses for you to scout the night sky and see distant things with better clarity.

Steps for the phosphorus cycle
aksik [14]
Explanation:

Phosphorus moves in a cycle through rocks, water, soil and sediments and organisms.

Key steps of the phosphorus cycle:

# Over time, rain and weathering cause rocks to release phosphate ions and other minerals. This inorganic phosphate is then distributed in soils and water.

# Plants take up inorganic phosphate from the soil. The plants may then be consumed by animals. Once in the plant or animal, the phosphate is incorporated into organic molecules such as DNA. When the plant or animal dies, it decays, and the organic phosphate is returned to the soil.

# Within the soil, organic forms of phosphate can be made available to plants by bacteria that break down organic matter to inorganic forms of phosphorus. This process is known as mineralisation.

<span># Phosphorus in soil can end up in waterways and eventually oceans. Once there, it can be incorporated into sediments over time.</span>
