Microtubules are mostly found in all eukaryotic cells

Microtubules are tiny, tender hollow structures that majorly found in eukaryotic cells, are primarily help cells maintain their shape. Microtubules help shape the cytoskeleton of the cell and also contribute in variety of motor functions for the cell.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Functions of Microtubules

The functions of Microtubules are listed below but not limited to the following:

The primary function of Microtubules is to help shape cells and cellular membrane.
Microtubules are involved in moving some specific organelles within the cell through microtubule channels.
Microtubules contribute to mitosis and meiosis through the movement of chromosomes during division of cells.
They aid cell movement by contracting cells in the muscle.

Explaining Eukaryotic cells

These are cells that contain organized organelles and nucleus which are surrounded by organelles that are connected to the membrane.

Explaining Cytoskeleton

Cytoskeleton can be defined as a structure that aids cells in maintaining their shape and inner components while providing support that allows cells to carry out major functions like movement and division.

It is worthy to note that there is no single cytoskeleton component but various components collectively form the cytoskeleton.

The examples of eukaryotic cells are animals, plants, fungi etc. and their inherent particle is formed in chromosomes.

Microtubules are one of the cytoskeletal filament systems in eukaryotic cells. The microtubule cytoskeleton is involved in the transport of material within cells, carried out by motor proteins that move on the surface of the microtubule.

Why is there less genetic variation among humans than among other species? this statement is debatible

Explanation:

In regard to the options, species may exhibit less variation when their branches represent the youngest lineages, suffer loss of genetic variation during evolution (i.e., genetic bottleneck) or show low mutation rates

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human x chromosome. the patient

Dafna1 [17]

<span>Very very unlikely. Since the recessive allele is on the X chromosome, in order for a woman to have this condition, both copies of her X chromosome has to have the recessive allele. One copy of the allele would have to come from her mother, and the second copy from her father. The copy from her mother is a 50/50 chance if her mother was heterozygous with one copy of the recessive allele and one copy of a normal allele and therefore didn't exhibit the dystrophy and therefore didn't know she was a carrier. But the father only has 1 copy of the allele and therefore would exhibit the dystrophy and as such would be unlikely to have engaged in procreative sex that would pass on the defective allele to his offspring. This is especially true since duchenne muscular dystrophy will typically start to manifest itself in male children around starting around age 4.</span>
