They are related mother to child. mtDNA is DNA contained in the mitochondria, and does not change from mother to child. So, it could be a grandma and her grandchild if she had a daughter, or a mother and her child.

Answer:

Mother and her child or grandmother and her grandchild.

Explanation:

The mt DNA is the extra chromosomal DNA. They sometimes inherited to the offspring. The mt DNA passes only from mother to child. Because the mother's egg and sperm DNA take part in fertilisation. The sperm mt DNA destroys in the enzymatic action of the egg. Therefore, only maternal mt DNA is transmitted to the next generation, not the paternal mt DNA. mt DNA is helpful to know the phylogeny of animals. If two people have the same mt DNA, the relation between them is a mother and her son/daughter or grandmother and her grandson/granddaughter.

Gelneren [198K]

To scientifically answer the question using scientific reasoning, explaining generally why it makes sense that the lion population is taking longer to recover than the herbivore populations is that;

The herbivore populations have enough food in the ecosystem,this food is in the form of flora,and this food they get keep their energy flowing and also has a way of ensuring their high recovery rates.

Then looking at the lion population,on the contrary,they have to depend on feeding on smaller animals this is because the larger animals reproduce at a smaller pace, and lions with a smaller prey,lions don't get enough and adequate food/nutrition for themselves and also for their pride of lions,this ascertains the fact that lion population take a longer time to recover than it's counterparts which is the herbivores.
