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.

The distribution of melanosomes in cells is tightly regulated in animals that rapidly change color. dark-colored cells have mela
kipiarov [429]

Microtubules originate on the centre of the cell taking the positive end to the periphery of the cell, while the negative end remains turned to the centre of the cell. The melanosomes move along these microtubules using motor proteins desiganted kinesins and dyneins. The kinesins are responsible for moving the melanosomes to the positive end of the microtubule (periphery of the cell) generating dark-colored cells, whereas dyneins move the melanosomes to the negative end of the microtubule (centre of the cell) generating light-colored cells.
