Dmitrij [34]3 years ago

Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural biopolymers. The cell walls of plants are mostly made of cellulose, which provides structural support to the cell. Wood and paper are mostly cellulosic in nature. Cellulose is made up of glucose monomers that are linked by bonds between particular carbon atoms in the glucose molecule.
Every other glucose monomer in cellulose is flipped over and packed tightly as extended long chains. This gives cellulose its rigidity and high tensile strength—which is so important to plant cells. Cellulose passing through our digestive system is called dietary fiber. While the glucose-glucose bonds in cellulose cannot be broken down by human digestive enzymes, herbivores such as cows, buffalos, and horses are able to digest grass that is rich in cellulose and use it as a food source. In these animals, certain species of bacteria reside in the rumen (part of the digestive system of herbivores) and secrete the enzyme cellulase. The appendix also contains bacteria that break down cellulose, giving it an important role in the digestive systems of ruminants. Cellulases can break down cellulose into glucose monomers that can be used as an energy source by the animal.

How is mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) typing used in forensic science?
Rudiy27

Explanation:

<em>Mitochondrial DNA typing</em><em> </em><em>-</em>

This method is mainly used by forensic scientist who investigate crime scenes.

It involves the use of DNA from an unknown sample to match a DNA collected from a crime scene.

This method is normally used in special scenarios.

These scenarios include:

1) When the DNA is discarded.

2) When the sample does not contain nuclear DNA.

From the description above we can now answer the question as follows:

an unknown nuclear mtDNA is matched to a nuclear mtDNA found at a crime scene.
