dedylja [7]
Duchenne muyscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, so a male gets it from his mother's X, if she is a carrier. The male child gets a Y and no X from his father, so the disease is always transmitted through the X from the mother. If a female gets Duchenne muscular dystrophy she has to have two X chromosomes, one from a carrier mother and another from from an affected father. This is virtually impossible because most males die before childbearing age and there is no way a female child can get an X from a man who does not live long enough to procreate. About eight percent of carrier women do show some muscle weakness, but they do not have the disease.

The triangular-shaped body of water that forms where a streams enters a larger body of water is a/an
GrogVix [38]


The best answer is B

Deltas are wet lands that form as rivers empty their water and sediments into another body of water such as an ocean, lake,  or another river. Deltas can also empty into land although this is less common.

A river moves more slowly as it nears its end. This causes sediment, solid material that has been carried downstream by the water  to fall to the river bottom.

The slowing of the river and the build up of sediment allows the river to break up from its single channel to several channels  forming a triangular flow at the mouth called a delta.

If a wildfire destroyed all the trees in a forest, what might happen to the ecosystem? Select all that apply.
bija089 [108]
Okay, I googled it because I wasn’t sure but, according to the article *ahem* “Destructive as forest fires may seem, forests often regrow in their wake. In some cases, however, forest fires become so intense they cause severe damage to the soil that may take years or even decades to repair”.

Hope this helped!
