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.
Answer:
Because ocean currents circulate water worldwide, they have a significant impact on the movement of energy and moisture between the oceans.

Explanation:
When either pan is heated, energy is transferred via conduction. Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred through a material, the average position of the particles remaining the same.
When the pans are heated, the particles in each pan vibrate faster and transfer this energy rapidly to neighboring particles.
The pan with a thicker base has more particles in it than the pan with lighter weight base. Note that, The rate of heat transfer is inversely proportional to the thickness of the material in question. Hence, the thicker the base, the more the number of particles present and the longer the time it takes for the food to cook.
The process by which rocks are broken down to form soil is called weathering. It is divided into 3 types, physical, chemical and biological weathering.
Physical weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down as a result of physical agitations. It is also called mechanical weathering and during this process the chemical nature of the rock is not affected. Biological weathering has to do with the weakening of rocks and their eventual disintegration as a result of plants and animals activities. Chemical weathering refers to the disintegration of the rock particles as a result of chemical reactions.
