There is a phenomenon called paternal leakage in which a small amount of the mitochondrial DNA from the father is found in the o

Answer:

Maternal inheritance means the transfer of characters from mothers to offspring through mitochondria. The paternal leakage means some mitochondria transfer from the father as well.

As the information given in the question, the amount of DNA from father's mitochondria is small. The quite small amount of DNA will not affect the conclusions and results that are made by the studies and do not affect the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria preserve its photosynthetic pigments in the thylakoids which allows masking of green of chlorophyll a and other accessory pigment i.e phycobiliproteins (phycocyanin, allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin).  

Chlorophyll a is mainly responsible for harvesting light for photosynthesis. Phycocyanin is blue in color, allophycocyanin is blue in color  and phycoerythrine is red in color. These together harvest light in the green, yellow and orange part of the spectrum which cannot be used by other phytoplankton species

Hence, option D is correct
