8 0

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.

Dr. Malani Mackey, works for a pharmaceutical company developing a drug for treating skin cancer. This particular drug requires
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) 100 ml Beaker

B) 250 ml Erlenmeyer Flask

C) 250 ml Graduated Cylinder

The answer is B). 250 ml Erlenmeyer Flask

Explanation:

Several types of glasswares are used in chemical laboratories for performing processes like mixing, heating and stirring of chemicals. In this question, Dr. Malani Mackey who works for a pharmaceutical company is trying to develop a cancer drug by making a mixture of L-histidine, polysorbate 80, and sucrose. This mixture is required to be heated and stirred (shaked) during the mixing. Hence, a glassware adapted for this purpose must be used.

- Erlenmeyer Flask, also known as Conical flask is a laboratory flask named after its conical base/bottom. This glassware is used to mix and even heat chemicals in the laboratory. Due to its cone-shaped body coupled with a long cylindrical neck, the contents in the Erlenmeyer Flask can be shaked or stirred without spilling them. This property gives the ERLENMEYER flask an edge over the BEAKER (has a large open mouth) when used for stirring purposes.

The Graduated cylinder is best suited for making precise measurements of liquid chemicals, hence, it is not an appropriate glassware for heating and stirring.
