Multiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease in which the patient's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that form the

myelin sheath in the central nervous system. What types of symptoms would you expect from such a disease? Why? Would schwann cells or oligodendrocytes be affected?

Multiple sclerosis develops when  nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord lose the insulating mylien sheaths that surround them.This can happen anywhere in the CNS and is random.
Symptoms are Muscle weakness, loss of sensory input from the skin and other areas, poor vision and mental problems due to the loss of the protective mylien the neurons stop conducting the impulses and hence there is a loss of functions controlled by the areas of the CNS concerned.
Hope this helps! :)

Scientists have discovered homeotic genes in many kinds of organisms, including fruit flies, mice, and humans. These homeotic ge
love history [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The presence of homeotic genes shows that all of the listed organisms (mice, flies, humans etc) all evolved from a common ancestor.

(A) is wrong as the evidence of the same gene existing in vastly different species shows the evolutionary relationship between these organisms.

(B) is wrong as there is insufficient evidence to prove that flies are the precessor of humans. We do know that flies and humans have evolved from a common ancestor though.

(C) is non-conclusive as the passage said nothing about the gene allowing the species to have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing. Hence, an errornous claim.

(D) is the correct answer as from a common ancestor, all of the listed organisms undergo and accumulates mutation, undergoes selective pressures that resulted in divergent evolution (aka branching evolution that results in many noval species forming) after millions of years.
