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.
<span>Assuming that this is referring to the same list of options that was posted before with this question, the correct answer is the one that is second from last on the list. </span>
