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.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - triploid plant.

Explanation:

Triploidy is a condition which can be defined as the 3 set of chromosome in an organism, the extra set of chromosome may be come from the maternal organism or the paternal derived. Maternal derived triploidy known as the digynic while in in the case of the paternal derived called diandric.

In this case the sperm goes under the meiosis so the each gamete will have one chromosome of each set (I I I) while the egg failed to undergo meiosis so the gamete carry complete set of chromosome ( II II II ) after fertilization the outcome will be Digynic triploidy (III III III).

Thus, the correct answer would be - triploid plant.
