Mitochondrial DNA can be traced for generations. It is because of the fact that unlike nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA rarely gets mutated. The frequency of mutations in the mitochondrial DNA is approximately one every 3,500 years per nucleotide. That is why mitochondrial DNA of a person is almost similar to his/her direct maternal ancestor. So, it can be used to match lineages amongst people.
Answer:
A considerable increase in phytoplankton populations in winter, and a greater increase in spring due to increase in light intensity.
Explanation:
Nitrogen and phosphorus are important nutrients required by phytoplankton populations. The growth of phytoplankton populations is dependent on the level of the availability of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in the presence of sunlight.
A rise in the aquatic coastal levels of nitrogen and phosphorus would result in a great increase in phytoplankton populations in spring, as stimulated by nutrient enrichment coupled with the availability of sunlight during spring. Phytoplankton populations would increase also in winter but not as high when compared to the rise in population in spring
The answer is C. lymphocytes
Ciliates move (c) using cilia. It is a group of protozoans. Cilia is an organelle of ciliates. It is a hair-like organelle that helps the ciliate move. It is also used in many ways like food gathering. It could even be used to sweep down food to their central channel.
