be too degraded to get DNA from. 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?
A The blood at the crime scene belonged to her suspect.
B The suspect has blond hair and blue eyes.
C There is a maternal relation between the two people.
D The person from the crime scene has been near the suspect.

<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!! :)

A(n) ____________________ is a sequence of organic nitrogen base pairs that codes for a polypeptide or a protein.
horsena [70]

A(n) <u>gene</u> is a sequence of organic nitrogen base pairs that codes for a polypeptide or a protein.

What is polypeptide?

Peptides are made up of short chains of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. The word "peptide" comes from the Ancient Greek word "peptós," which means "digested." Oligopeptides, which comprise dipeptides, tripeptides, and tetrapeptides, are chains of fewer than twenty amino acids.

A polypeptide is a peptide chain that is longer, continuous, and unbranched.

 Therefore, along with nucleic acids, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and others, peptides belong to the large chemical families of biological polymers and oligomers.

A protein is a polypeptide that has more than 50 amino acids, on average. A protein is made up of one or more polypeptides that are structured in a biologically useful manner. Proteins are frequently coupled to other proteins, other macromolecules like DNA or RNA, or complex macromolecular assemblies.

Water moves via osmosis _________. a) from an area with a low concentration of water to one of higher concentration b) from an a
sp2606 [1]

Answer: c) from an area with a high concentration of water to one of lower concentration

Explanation:

Microscopically, we can interpret osmosis as the passage of water through holes in the membrane. These holes are small enough to allow water to pass through, but not to the ions that carry a layer of hydration, that is, a layer of water molecules around them. Water flows through the membrane in both directions. However, the occurrence of osmosis indicates that the flow is more intense in the direction of the less concentrated medium to the more concentrated. Thus, there is an effective flow of water in one of the senses, called osmosis, from an area with a high concentration of water to one of lower concentration.

A radioactively labeled protein is made by cells and followed through the various organelles in the secretory pathway. After six
worty [1.4K]

This suggests that the protein is targeted to Golgi apparatus.

Protein targeting or sorting is a process by which synthesized proteins are transported to their appropriate localizations in the cell or outside it. Proteins can be targeted to the inner space of an organelle (such as Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum) or its membrane, plasma membrane, or to exterior of the cell via secretion.  

Usually, protein contains signal sequence on the N terminus that is involved in destination targeting.
