1) 2) A fully formed set of wisdom teeth indicate that the skeleton belonged to a person 22 years of age or older. Thus, the absence of wisdom teeth lends to the assumption of a person 21 or younger. - If rings between the vertebrae have fused to the vertebrae, then you can assume the person is at least 18 years of age. If the rings have not yet fused, assume the skeleton belonged to a person 17 or younger. - The female pelvis has a distinctively larger opening or width that allows the skull of a baby to pass through during childbirth. Males have a significantly smaller opening. 3) Mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA, exists as a circular loop of double-stranded DNA rather than the linear form found in nuclear DNA. 4) mtDNA isinherited solely from the mother. 5) By aligning DNA sequences on top of each other to look for similarities and differences between 2 or more samples or sequences. 6) The Sequence Server contains mtDNA sequences obtained from all of the female bones in the Yekaterinburg grave. Also included is the mtDNA sequence of Prince Philip, who is in the same mtDNA lineage as Alexandra and her daughters. -The Sequence Server at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory contains many mtDNA sequences, including those obtained from all of the male bones in the Yekaterinburg grave. Also included is the mtDNA sequence of Great-Nephew (the Duke of Fife) of Tsar Nicholas II, who is in the same mtDNA lineage as Tsar Nicholas II. 7) yes because Based on written accounts given by the Bolshevik soldiers present at the Romanov execution, it is now generally accepted that the bodies of young Prince Alexei and his sister Princess Anastasia were partially cremated immediately after they were shot.
