<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!! :)

Which molecules would dissolve well in oil
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: A variety of substances will dissolve oil, including gasoline and carbon tetrachloride -- both of which have non-polar molecules. Acetone is a special class of solvent called “dipolar aprotic” that, depending on the circumstances, can act as a weak acid or base; it dissolves oil and mixes with water as well.

A medical test indicates that a patient has a defective protein. This
OleMash [197]

Answer:

number of nitrogen bases

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer would be the number of nitrogen bases.</em>

<u>A defective protein is usually caused by mutation, which is defined a change in the DNA sequence of an organism.</u>

Mutation can occur in a variety of ways including:

<em>1. Deletion of nucleotide base sequence in the DNA</em>

<em>2. Addition (insertion) of nucleotide base sequence in the DNA</em>

<em>3. Duplication of nucleotide sequence in the DNA</em>

<u>A change in number of phosphate molecules, sequence of subunits DNA and sequence of sugar molecules if possible in nature, do not lead to mutation if the change does not affect the sequence of DNA.</u>

Hence, the correct option is number of nitrogen bases.
