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.

Explanation:

It is impossible to know how many individuals will have the disease at the end without knowing other factors such as the condition where the subjects are being held, trial specifications and safety measures, etc. Based on the information provided, the best prediction that can be made is that all 20 subjects will have the disease. This is because since none of them are immune the disease will spread between the patients/subjects through contact or testing equipment.
