Cases in which hair, bones, and teeth are the only evidence retrieved/available from a crime scene are particularly well suited to mDNA (mitochondrial DNA) is comparison and analysis is true.

Explanation:

The mtDNA is used to analyse a variety of samples such as bones, teeth and hair. It is the DNA located in mitochondria, cellular organelles within eukaryotic cells that convert chemical energy from food into a form of cells.

The trace DNA is a forensic method used for analysing DNA left at the scene of a crime. All the evidence from the scene are sent to the forensic laboratory for analysis. It processes all pieces of evidence from the scene. Once the reults are ready then there will be lead in the detective case.
