<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!! :)

Explain the process of the electron transport chain. where do the molecules used in the process come from? what powers the proce
Advocard [28]
Process of Electron Transport Chain (ETC), is a series of transferring from electron donors to their acceptors.  It basically means a transfer from high energy molecule to a low-energy molecule.  This process of extracting energy by transfer is classified as a chemical reaction and we see it is the path taken of cellular respiration (NADH) and FADH2) and in photosynthesis, NADPH.  It starts with an electron, NADH and FADH2, when the electron donors release a proton gradient and it creates an imbalance.  Think of it as a see-saw with one heavy person on one end and a lighter one on the other end.  The protons actually attempt to defuse back across this see-saw of a membrane and it releases energy during the cross over which we call Chemiosmosis.
