Why mitocondrial DNA is passed from mother to daughter only?

Mitochondrial DNA is passed from mother to daughter because during fertilization, the sperm typically donates very little, if any, mitochondria to the zygote. This results in the mitochondrial DNA being inherited solely from the mother. It is the egg that contributes the majority of the mitochondria to the embryo.


Hair samples can be tested gor nuclear dna whether or not the root is present?

Yes, hair samples can be tested for nuclear DNA even if the root is not present. However, the presence of the root (or hair follicle) can provide a richer source of DNA and increase the likelihood of obtaining a usable DNA profile. Without the root, the success of DNA analysis may vary depending on the condition of the hair sample and the testing methods used.

How are primers made for PCR?

Primers for PCR are short, single-stranded DNA sequences that are designed to bind to specific regions of the target DNA. They are typically synthesized in a laboratory using automated DNA synthesis machines that assemble the nucleotides in the desired sequence. The primers are then purified and tested to ensure they are suitable for use in the PCR reaction.


Can plastic bags be tested either for finger prints or DNA?

It is possible to recover fingerprints from plastic bags, although it may be challenging due to the smooth surfaces of the bags. DNA can also be extracted from plastic bags, but the success of obtaining usable DNA depends on various factors such as the quality and quantity of biological material present on the bag.

How is DNA tested to see if a female or a male did the crime?

By a cheek swab. And if you are not on file as a felon your DNA is not in the database. To get DNA they need to file through the court if you have not been charged and convicted.


How do you obtain DNA?

A DNA swab is the most common method of collection of DNA. The swab is swiped inside the cheek to collect epithelial cells and placed in a sterile tube until tested.
