<span>Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) leads to progressively worsening physical disability. Death often occurs by age 25, typically from lung disorders. However, advances in supportive care have resulted in many men living much longer than this.Specific common causes of death include: Cardiomyopathy (can also occur in female carriers, who should also be screened) Congestive heart failure (rare) Deformities Heart arrhythmias (rare) Mental impairment (varies, usually minimal) Permanent, progressive disability, including decreased mobility and decreased ability to care for self Pneumonia or other respiratory infections Respiratory failure</span>

The fungus Melampsora lini causes a disease known as flax rust. Different strains of M. lini cause varying degrees of the rust d
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the Mendelian approach to solve this question, we will understand that the mendelian approach has a pattern for inherited traits.

From the data set given, the total number of the population is:

43+9+32+110 = 194

However, their ratio are being calculated as follows:

43/194 = 0.22

9/194 = 0.05

32/194 = 0.16

110/194 = 0.57

After comparison with the Mendelian's approach, we realize that these results seem to be similar to the 9:3:3:1 ratio.

i.e.  

3/16 = 0.18

1/16 = 0.06

3/16 = 0.18

9/16 = 0.56

The inheritance pattern obviously dictates that the flax experiment proceeds in the pattern found in the Mendelian's Approach and the resistance of the two different strains were arbitrated by two traits.

Alik [6]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass dates from Antoine Lavoisier's 1789 discovery that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. In other words, the mass of any one element at the beginning of a reaction will equal the mass of that element at the end of the reaction.
