Why Isn't Mitochondrial DNA a Unique Identifier

Multiple Choice

Why isn't mitochondrial DNA a unique identifier?

A) Mitochondrial DNA is inherited through the paternal lineage. All offspring inherit their father's mitochondria, and therefore the same mitochondrial DNA. As a result, all family members that share a paternal lineage would have the same mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA can therefore be used to confirm or eliminate a person's relationship within a paternal line, but cannot be used to identify a specific individual.
B) Mitochondrial DNA is inherited through the maternal lineage. All offspring inherit their mother's mitochondria, and therefore the same mitochondrial DNA. As a result, all family members that share a maternal lineage would have the same mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA can therefore be used to confirm or eliminate a person's relationship within a maternal line, but cannot be used to identify a specific individual.
C) Mitochondrial DNA is inherited through the maternal lineage. All female offspring inherit their mother's mitochondria, and therefore the same mitochondrial DNA. As a result, all female family members that share a maternal lineage would have the same mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial DNA can therefore be used to confirm or eliminate a person's relationship within a maternal line, but cannot be used to identify a specific individual.
