Answer:

The disease is caused mainly because of the attack on the myelin sheath by own immune system.

Explanation:

The MS or multiple sclerosis refers to a possibly disabling disorder of central nervous system. In the condition, immune system fights against and destroys the myelin, that is, the protective sheath, which envelopes the nerve fibers. This causes problems of communications between the brain and the entire part of the body. Ultimately, the disease can result in deterioration or permanent destruction of the nerves.

Lemur [1.5K]
The property that makes slate most suitable for roofing shingles is that it can be split into thin, flat layers.
This means that the roofs of houses and other buildings can be created from slate in order to cover the tops in the best way possible. Other materials are also often used for this purpose, but slate is one of the most popular ones nowadays because of that property it has.

Suppose a mutation occurs in an individual animal. What do you think would happen if the mutation had these different effects on
Nady [450]

Answer:

For effect #1, the mutation will become more common (A). This is because with the organism having more children, the trait will be passed around much faster and will spread to surrounding groups of animals.

For effect #2, the mutation will become more common (A). This is because the disease will kill the animals who do not carry the gene leaving only the animals with the trait, making it much more common

For effet #3, the mutation will disappear (B). This is because the animal carrying the gene will slowly die off. After all,  they will not be able to reproduce and pass the gene to their children.

For effect #4, the mutation will remain at a low level (C). This happens because since it procures no change there will be no reason to transfer it so it will become a recessive trait in the animals.
