Mitochondria are cell structures that contain a small quantity of DNA. Scientists are sequencing the DNA of one particular gene in mitochondria to
help identify different species of many animals including myriapods. The
sequences that they find are called ‘barcodes’.
(i) State the part of the cell that contains most of the DNA.
[1]
(ii) Suggest how DNA barcoding might be useful in the classification of animals,
such as myriapods.
