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.

The atmosphere is 80% nitrogen: why do you think plants and animals can't use nitrogen as it is found in the atmosphere?
Setler [38]

Answer: Atmospheric Nitrogen is unreactive

Explanation:

The atmosphere is made up of about 80% Nitrogen, 16% oxygen, about 4% carbon dioxide, rare gases etc.

However, the 80% Nitrogen is highly unreactive, and needs to be trapped by competent micro organisms known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules of legumes.

Then, it is converted to several forms like nitrites, nitrates (easily absorbed by plants), ammonia and finally escape to the atmosphere again.

This brief illustration explains the NITROGEN CYCLE, and it is the only means by which plants and animals can use the highly unreactive nitrogen

Which of the following statements about transposable genetic elements is NOT true?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

C. They all use a cut and paste mechanism.

Explanation:

DNA transposons can go through a replicative or nonreplicative transposition.

The replicative transposition uses a "copy and paste" mechanism that consists of the introduction of a new copy of the transposable element in a new position, meanwhile <u>the old copy remains in the original position</u>. This determines an increase in the number of copies.

The nonreplicative transposition uses a "cut and paste" mechanism that consists of the cleavage of the transposable element from its position and its <u>insertion in a new position</u> without increasing the number of copies.

Retrotransposons, on the other side, move through RNA intermediates generated by the reverse transcriptase.
