Explain whether nuclear or mitochondrial DNA is better for identifying a specific person

Chemistry
1 answer:
hodyreva [135]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:-

Nuclear DNA is inherited from all ancestors. But mitochondrial DNA is inherited from a single lineage. The DNA inside of mitochondria (called mtDNA) unlike DNA inside the nucleus, comes from only mothers.

It is not a mixture of our parent’s DNA, and each person’s mtDNA is nearly identical to his or her mother’s mtDNA.

Thus only nDNA being more unique is more useful for identifying in forensics. In cases where nDNA is not sufficient, mtDNA is used.

A truck traveled at a constant speed for 6 hours. Then, it
gavmur [86]

Answer:

2.4 hrs

Explanation:

The constant speed of the truck for 6 hrs can be calculated by: speed=distance/time. Speed =(876-228)/6=648/6=108m/s. So the decreased speed = (108-13)=95m/h. Now, speed =distance /time We get 95m/h = 228/t. t=228/95 hrs = 2.4 hrs PLEASE MARK ME THE BRAINLIEST!!

If an element has 2+ valence electrons, does it transfer only one or more than one valence electrons​
just olya [345]

Answer:

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.

Explanation:

  • Group IIA have 2+ valency and two electrons in its valance shell.
  • Its Electropositivity is  high and have the tendency to donate it two electrons.
  • Element  of IIA form ionic with most electronegative element.

Examples:

Cu²⁺, Mg²⁺, Sr²⁺ are examples having  2+ valance electron

one of the following is examples of element that have 2+ valence electrons

MgCl₂

Atomic number of Magnesium (Mg) is 12

Electronic Configuration of Mg:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 2

So, it have to give its 2 electrons to form a stable compound.

Similarly

Chlorine atomic number is 17

Electronic Configuration of Chlorine:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁵

or

K =2

L = 8

M = 7

So, it have to gain one electrons to form a stable compound and complete its octet.

So,

Two chlorine atom as a molecule gain 2 electrons from Mg²⁺ atom

So one Mg²⁺ and 2 Cl⁻ atoms form an ionic bond

where in this ionic bond Mg²⁺ transfer its 2 valence electron completely and chlorine molecule accept 2 electrons.

                 Cl-----Mg------Cl

So the Answer is

element having 2+ valence electrons can transfer its more than one electron that is 2 electron completely.
