Answer:

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease caused by infection of the X-Chromosome. Males have only one copy of the X chromosome from their mother and one copy of the Y chromosome from their father. If their X chromosome has a DMD gene mutation, they will have Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Females have two copies of the X chromosomes. Since females have two copies of this gene, if one copy does not work, they have a second back up copy to produce the dystrophin protein. People with Duchenne muscular dystrophy do not make the dystrophin protein in their muscles. DMD affects the muscles, leading to muscle wasting that gets worse over time.

Answer:

Blindspot

It has a vital role. It is the only way out of the optic nerve. By this hole optic nerve exits from the eye and goes towards the brain.

It can be proved by a simple experiment. A paper sheet is taken. Then a cross and a circle are drawn side by side on that paper. Then we will focus on the cross. Then by closing one eye and by bringing the paper slowly towards our face, the circle will be disappeared at a certain point.

Explanation:

The blind spot is a region on the retina where ganglion cells connect with the optic nerve, and the optic nerve and blood vessels leave the eyeball. There are no receptors in this area so nothing can be translated into vision. That's why the blind spot is unable to see things.
