It is only passed from father to son, so it provides a direct lineage. If a person is discovered to have a unique marker, you know that everyone else in the world that has that marker is descended from that one person.

What is microbial analysis?

A method for analyzing, identifying, and enumerating microbacteria that utilizes genetic analyisis via gene tracing and identification. Utilizing genetic analysis techniques to help profile and identify the bacterial and fungal diversity in a variety of different clinical and environmental samples allows for fastidious and anaerobic bacteria strains to be easily studied. In addition molecular techniques have been used to characterize antibiotic resistance via Mutation Detection analysis.

Why is it important to classify the diversity of living things?

Classification taxonomy, is important to biology and the diversity of living thing for a number or reasons. Establishing relationships between extant organisms allows us to construct phylogenes which help us to understand their evolutionary history; this knowledge is invaluable right across the board from paleontology (tracing changes of anatomy in fossils), to genetic engineering (whether a gene from one organism is likely to function in another), to medicine (which species a given virus is likely to spread between), to development (whether a gene from one structure are the same that form a homologous one, i.e. fins/legs/wings), to conservation (investigating previous extinctions, establishing the diversity of animals under threat), to immunology (whether a transplanted organ will be accepted/rejected).


Trace the path of oxygen water and carbon dioxide through the organelles?

When tracing the path of oxygen, water, carbon dioxide and glucose in the production of energy it will show that first oxygen and water enter the cell. Carbon dioxide and glucose are then produced in the cell and carbon dioxide is given off. Energy is also dispelled as glucose.

Linkage studies refer to tracing a particular trait within a family does this mean that twin and adoption studies are a type of linkage study?

No. Linkage studies use markers to identify chromosomal regions that may be linked to disease. Twin and adoption studies establish heritability and thus the genetic basis of a disease, not which chromosome or chromosomal region may be implicated. For this reason they are called genetic epidemiological studies.
