Answer:

Nuclear DNA :

The nuclear DNA can be inherits from the parents. The DNA is circular in shape. This DNA consists of around 20,000 genes. These are generally diploid and paired in present in the organism.

Mitochondrial DNA:

Mitochondrial DNA is also inherited but from the mother only. The DNA is linear in shape. This DNA also consists of genes but less in number as compared with nuclear DNA. These are generally haploid and non paired present in the organism.

The mitochondrial gene is used in the criminal investigation as it contains the inherited material of mother only.

What part of the hair extends from the bulb and the shaft?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Hair is a keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis. It is primarily made of dead, keratinized cells. Strands of hair originate in an epidermal penetration of the dermis called the hair follicle. The hair shaft is the part of the hair not anchored to the follicle, and much of this is exposed at the skin’s surface. The rest of the hair, which is anchored in the follicle, lies below the surface of the skin and is referred to as the hair root. The hair root ends deep in the dermis at the hair bulb, and includes a layer of mitotically active basal cells called the hair matrix. The hair bulb surrounds the hair papilla, which is made of connective tissue and contains blood capillaries and nerve endings from the dermis.
