<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u><em>The answer is C.</em></u>

Explanation:

They explained that "Investigator Murray decides to try to retrieve mtDNA from the sample and compare it to a sample from her suspect. What information could this sample give her?"

<u><em>mtDNA:</em></u> Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can also be useful to investigators and is found in the energy-producing organelles called mitochondria. This type of DNA can sometimes be recovered from evidence that is too degraded or old to yield regular DNA. Although mtDNA can't be linked to one individual, <u><em>it can show that subjects are maternally related, since it is passed down through the maternal side of the family. </em></u>

<h2>Note to you:</h2>

I took the test and the definition of mtDNA (also known as Mitochondrial DNA) came from my notes. Have a good one and I hope it helps!! :)
