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.

What is the difference between muscle cells and nerve cells
4vir4ik [10]

I mean, there's plenty of differences between muscle and nerve cells. For one, they serve different functions. Nerve cells react and send stimuli rapidly through action potentials, functioning in the nervous system and allowing the brain to communicate with the rest of the body, while muscle cells allow muscles to move. Another difference is the structure of the cells, with nerve cells having dendrites, axons, and neurotransmitters to assist in the firing of action potentials. You're going to have to be a little more specific, I can't really help you any more with such a broad question.
