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.

What is the percentage by mass of nitrogen in the fertiliser (NH4)3PO4? [Ar: H = 1, N = 14, O = 16, P = 31]
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

(NH4)3PO4 is 28.2 % N , 8.1% H, 20.8 % P and 43.0 % O by mass.

Explanation:

the formula In chemistry, the mass fraction of a substance within a mixture is the ratio w_{i} of the mass m_{i} of that substance to the total mass {\displaystyle m_{\text{tot}}} of the mixture. Expressed as a formula, the mass fraction is: {\displaystyle w_{i}={\frac {m_{i}}{m_{\text{tot}}}}.}

A sample of gas consists of 4.0 moles, and exists at stp. What is the volume of the gas?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The volume of the gas is 89.60

When converting from moles to volume, you would multiply by 22.4 because 1 mole equals 22.4 liters at STP.

So...

4.0 moles * 22.4 liters =

In separating mixtures is it an advantage or a disadvantage?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Purpose: To become familiar with the techniques for separation of amixture of solids.

Explanation:

a mixture of pure substances. If you have a mixture of tennis ballsand marbles (not pure substances by the way), it would be easy toseparate the mixture. However, it is more difficult to separate asand (also not a pure substance) and salt mixture. Even with verygood tweezers and a magnifying glass, it would be extremelytedious. You could take advantage of the fact that salt dissolvesin water and sand does not. To separate iron powder from an ironand sand mixture you can take advantage of the magnetic propertiesof iron and separate the mixture.

To summarize a complete procedure for separating a mixture ofseveral substances, it is best to prepare a flow chart. A flowchartis a schematic representation of an algorithm or a stepwiseprocess, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and theirorder by connecting these with arrows. Flowcharts are used indesigning or documenting a process.
