Document Summary

Mitochondria small structures located outside the nucleus of a cell; these structures supply energy to the cell; maternally inherited dna is found in each mitochondrion. Mitochondrial dna--------dna present in small structures (mitochondria) outside the nucleus of a cell; mitochondria supply energy to the cell; this form of dna is inherited maternally (from the mother) Y-strs ------- short tandem repeats located on the human y chromosome. Which of the following is not a base associated with dna? threonine. Portions of the dna molecule useful for dna typing: Short tandem repeats normally consist of repeating sequences of approximately how many bases? three to seven. The utility of y-strs in the forensic sciences is that: Correct answer: it originates only from a male donor of dna mtdna analysis is best suited for: samples for which nuclear dna typing is not possible. The forensic science community has standardized ______ strs for entry into a national database known as the combined dna index system.
