Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD) are X-linked recessive neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive irreversible muscle weakness and atrophy that affect both skeletal and cardiac muscles

<h3>What is Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy ?</h3>

Both Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy are caused by mutations in a protein called dystrophin

  • In Duchenne muscular dystrophy, functioning dystrophin is completely absent in muscle, while in Becker muscular dystrophy, there is some dystrophin present, although not enough for completely normal muscle function.

  • it usually affects boys in early childhood; people with the condition will usually only live into their 20s or 30s.

Compare the properties of the parent and daughter cells in mitosis and meiosis and explain the reason for any differences.
katrin [286]
Mitosis - 48 chromosomes (diploid cells)
Meiosis - 24 chromosomes (haploid cells)

Diploid cells. Meiosis is the process of cell division by which involving gametes. Cell division is just the same for sperm and egg cells, but they have distinguishable descriptions and labels in the process. Spermatogenesis is for the males’ sperm cells and oogenesis is the process for females’ egg cells. The cell division of meiosis involves the two phases, respectively meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I like mitosis is the cell division that produces diploid cells<span>. These diploid cells are cells that contain a complete pair of chromosomes which is 46. The result is two diploid cells after the first meiosis. To provide clear explanation, in contrast haploid cells only contain 23 chromosomes and are created after meiosis II which is 4 in number.</span>
