25. Which characteristics of mitochondrial DNA and chloroplast DNA sheds light into the evolutionary relationships between species?
Select one:
a. mtDNA is found in all cells, whereas cpDNA is found in plant cells.
b. cpDNA and mtDNA are much larger and contain more information than nuclear DNA.
c. cpDNA is a combination of the two parents’ nuclear DNA.
d. mtDNA and cpDNA have low rate of mutation.

26.Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is genetically identical to
Select one:
a. Other siblings of the same father
b. Other siblings of the same mother
c. Mother’s and father’s mtDNA
d. DNA found in the nucleus of the cell
e. Mitochondria found in other species

27.By comparing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of living people and/or of skeletons of non-living people, researchers can analyze samples to determine their ancestry.

Which of the following statement correctly describes the inheritance pattern of mtDNA?
Select one:
a. An egg contains mitochondria and a sperm cell does not contain any mitochondria.
b. An egg is much larger than a sperm and therefore contains more mitochondria, passing its mtDNA to the offspring.
c. An egg contributes half of the DNA and all of its organelles in the cytoplasm to the zygote.
d. mtDNA is transcribed from cpDNA outside of the nucleus.
