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.

d. The right ventricle contracts next, which forces blood up through the right semilunar valve which is otherwise known as the pulmonary valve .

e. After circulating through the pulmonary capillaries, the blood returns to the left atrium. 

f. From the left atrium, blood moves through the left atrioventricular valve which is also referred to as the bicuspid or mitral valve.

b. From the left ventricle, the blood is pumped up to aorta the through the left semilunar valve which is sometimes referred to as the aortic valve.
