Answer:

<em>The correct option would be are you my father.</em>

Explanation:

The mitochondria of a cell is known to produce its own DNA and this DNA can also code for proteins. However, the mitochondrial DNA is only known to be transferred from the mother of a person. A person does not inherit mitochondrial DNA from his/her father. Hence, the analysis of the mitochondrial DNA has nothing to do with the testing for the father of a person.

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of a cell where the process of cellular respiration occurs.

This food web represents a community in a rain forest.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

coatis would increase

sloths would increase

fruit bats would increase

Explanation:

The boa constrictor in this food chain is the top predator, thus it is on the top of the food chain. It preys on several of the animals on this list, such as the coati, sloth, and fruit bats, so it is regulating their numbers. If the boa constrictor is removed from the ecosystem, the ecosystem will lose its predator, so the animals on which the boa constrictor preyed upon will have no threat, thus will experience rapid increase in their numbers. The coatis, sloths, and fruit bats, all will be predator free in this scenario, so they will all experience increase in their population, which in turn will have big effect on all other species in the ecosystem.
