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.

The process of mucociliary streaming involves the removal of particles and pollen by the constant streaming of mucous propelled
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Mucociliary streaming is the process of the cleaning mechanism of the respiratory passage. It is one of the protective process that protects the respiratory passage from the effect of the particles of dust and pathogens before they reach up to the delicate lung tissues. This process maintains the pulmonary hygiene.

This takes the advantage of cleaning up the cilia present in the respiratory tract, this process penetrates the mucous layer of the cilia by wave-like motion. The cilia trap the large and small particles. The instrument used for this purpose moves at a speed of 6 to 20mm per minute. This helps in cleaning up of the cilia along with the mucous.

Give an example of a decomposed. Explain what would happen if decomposers were absent from a forest ecosystem.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Some examples of decomposers include bacteria, fungi, and some insects. If decomposers disappeared from a forest ecosystem, wastes as well as the remains of the dead organisms would pile up, and producers (plants) would not have enough nutrients.

Imagine that five hypothetical genes are arranged on a chromosome in the following order: G--H--I--J--K. Which two genes are mos
andrezito [222]

Answer:

G and K

Explanation:

Crossing-over is a genetic phenomenon that occurs in meiosis, specifically, Prophase I. It is when chromosomal segment (genes) are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Crossing-over occurs only to genes that are UNLINKED i.e. genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.

This unlinked genes are said to have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY. Crossing-over allows genes on the same chromosome but far apart from each other, assort independently, which allows alleles to be recombined on the same chromosome. This phenomenon does not occur to genes that are close on the same chromosome as they will be inherited together as a unit.

In this case, G and K are the farthest apart, hence, they will have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY i.e. the likelihood for homologous crossing-over to take place during meiosis.
