Rudiy273 years ago
3 0

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.

Give reasons why the energy level decrease as you move down a food chain..
avanturin [10]

Answer: Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels. or in materials that the consumer does not digest, or  through movement

Hope it helps! ^w^

Arrange the three kinds of nitrogenous wastes based on the energy required to synthesize them, beginning with the waste product
Evgen [1.6K]

the three kinds of nitrogenous wastes based on the energy required to synthesize them are arranged; Ammonia < urea < uric acid.

Nitrogenous wastes are the nitrogen compounds that organisms use to get rid of excess nitrogen. Ammonia, urea, and uric acid are the most common nitrogenous wastes that animals excrete. Protein metabolism generates all of these nitrogenous wastes.

Ammonia is the most toxic of these nitrogenous wastes, and it is the most common but requires the least energy. Urea is more harmful than uric acid, but it is less harmful than ammonia, reducing the amount of energy required to synthesize it. Uric acid is the least harmful, a non-poisonous particle with four nitrogen molecules. This is useful for birds and reptiles that lay hard eggs because it eliminates the most nitrogen, uses the least amount of water, and is not toxic. It also takes the most energy input.
