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.

How many moles of oxygen are produced when 29.2 g of water is decomposed according to H20 H2 + O2​
Katarina [22]

8.1moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water to be decomposed = 29.2g

Unknown:

Number of moles of oxygen.

Solution:

To solve this problem, we first write the balanced reaction equation :

               2H₂O    →     2H₂    +    O₂

Now convert the given mass of the water to number of moles;

  Number of moles of water = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

 

  Molar mass of water = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol

  Number of moles of water = \frac{29.2}{18}  = 16.2moles

   From the balanced reaction equation:

   2 moles of water produced 1 mole of oxygen gas;

   16.2 mole of water will produce   \frac{16.2}{2}  = 8.1moles of oxygen gas

When cream mixes with coffee, is this a chemical or physical change?
svlad2 [7]

It is a physical change when cream mixes with coffee, it changes the color of the coffee. When you add more or less cream there is a color change depending on the consistency of cream. The properties are not changes and a no new compound is formed as in chemical change with a reaction of two compounds, a new compound is formed with different properties. So it is a physical change.
