Answer:

True

Explanation:

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder caused by the mutation in the DMD gene which codes for the Dystrophin protein.

The dystrophin protein is responsible for the intact nature of the muscle cells. The disease is progressive in nature as it weakens and degenerates the muscles which cause the ability to sit, walk and other daily muscular activities.  

The disease is inherited from the Mother as the gene is present on the X chromosome and the dystrophin protein become nonfunctional.

Thus, True is the correct answer.
