Answer:
He should get his mitochondrial haplotype sequenced, given the genetic variation in mitochondrial sequences compared to Y chromosomes.
Explanation:
- Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes are specific regions of mitochondrial DNA that cluster with other mitochondrial sequences to show the phylogenetic origins of maternal lineages.
- Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes are associated with a range of phenotypes and disease.
- Mitochondrial DNA contains 37 genes, all of which are essential for normal mitochondrial function.
- Thirteen of these genes provide instructions for making enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation.
Enzymes are proteins and they control the speed of chemical reactions in your body. Without them, the reactions would happen too slowly to keep you alive.
Some break down larger molecules into smaller ones and those enzymes are in your stomach.
In the case of fish if you polute plastic into the ocean the water will break up the plastic and the fish will confuse the little particles of plastic as food and will try to eat it and can die
