Answer:
Mitochondrial DNA.
Explanation:
Mitochondria is known as the power house of the cell and one of the important organelle responsible for the production of energy. Mitochondria contains its own DNA.
To understand the maternal ancestor history, the mitochondria DNA must be studied. The mitochondria is solely obtained from the mother as the egg contains large amount of cytoplasm that contains mitochondria. The mitochondria can never be inherited from paternal origin as the sperm contains few amount of cytoplasm and mitochondria.
Thus, the answer is mitochondrial DNA.
Answer:
Homologous structures have the same ancestry, but may no longer serve the same function. For example, the bones that make up human fingers were inherited from an ancestor that's shared by all mammals.
Recombination
: the process occurring in Meiosis I, in which offspring are able to obtain unique traits resulting in an array of different phenotypes (physical appearances).
Prophase I,
the homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and exchange segments of alleles, and then lining up in the cell in a NON-uniform way.... therefore resulting in genetically unique offsprings rather than identitical.
Mutations are result of evolutionary factors. They create genetic diversity that helps species adjust to different climates, behaviours and foods. Mutations that occur in a fit indivual can result in offspring that are genetically more successful in adjustments to different climates, foods, and environments.
All in all Recombination results in unique looking indivuals, whereas mutations result in greater survival chances of a species.
