Stars appear to move across the sky at night because Earth spins on its axis and it is moving around the Sun. Because the Earth spins half a turn in a night, a star visible low in the east early in the evening will appear to rise and move in an arc across the southern sky and set in the west before morning. Stars in the center of the southern sky will disappear below the western horizon halfway through the night. Also, other stars will rise in the east all through the night. The stars that can be seen are always in the sky at some time during the day, but some rise while the sun is in the sky and are hidden by the glare of the bright sky.

Hope this helps!

One type of muscular dystrophy, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is is an inherited condition that usually only affects boys. Muscle

NeX [460]

Answer:

Explanation:

Duchenne muscular dystrophy acts as a X-linked recessive disease. Which means the gene sits on the X chromosome, and you need two bad copies to show disease (for females) and one bad copy (to show in males).

Now from our knowledge, we know males are XY and females are XX. Males have only one copy of the X chromosome from their mother and one copy of the Y chromosome from their father, thus if they get the mutated version of the gene that causes this disease, they will get the disease. However, if a female has a mutated version of gene on one of the X chromosome, the other X chromosome could have a normal gene and that normal gene would take over and produce a normal phenotype/function.

Since, boys only have one X chromosome, if they get the mutated gene they will get the disease, whereas females have two X chromosome (so even if one copy is bad and the other is good, the good version can take over, however boys don't have this) thus mostly male children are affected by this.
