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.

BaLLatris [955]
Foods that contain more than one type of molecule help us meet our daily requirement of nutrients. There is a limit to how much we can eat in a day, so if nutrient rich foods are consumed, we can easily provide the necessary building blocks for our bodies to maintain healthy function. This is not possible with foods that contain only one type of molecule.
