In humans, the DMD gene is required for proper muscle function. Mutations in the DMD gene display X-linked recessive inheritance

that leads to muscular dystrophy. The DMD gene has enhancers that are required for gene expression in specific muscles of the body. enh1 is required for expression in the heart; enh2 is required for expression in the arm muscles; enh3 is required for expression in the leg muscles. For an individual with the genotype listed below, what phenotype would you expect

Answer:

Explanation:

As the inheritance is X-linked,recesson so for expression of muscular dystrophy in any given muscle,

\frac{enh1-    enh2+   enh3 -   DMD+ }{enh1-    enh2+   enh3 +   DMD+}

enh1+ /enh1 + = Shows muscular dystrophy in heart (Homozygous for -)

enh2+/enh2+ = Shows no muscular dystrophy in arms (Homozygous for +)

enh3-/enh3+ = variabl or mosaic for muscular dystrophy in leg muscles (Hetrozygous for enh3)

What is the impact on human health as we try to stay ahead of the evolutionary process?
nignag [31]

The impact on the human health as we try to stay ahead of the evolutionary process is actually very bad. It is a fact that the humans are living much longer nowadays than ever before, with the main reasons for that being the well developed medicine and healthcare, much better standard of living, and having less riskier jobs. On the other hand, the human health, without being treated, is actually at an all time low. The immune system is much weaker than it has been, with the main reason being the isolation of the outside world and the higher level of hygiene. The allergies are becoming an ever growing problem because of this, as the immune system doesn't even recognize certain outside bodies are they an enemies or not. The constant radiation for numerous sources has caused development of numerous diseases. The old age has increased the percentage of diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer, Parkinson, or sclerosis. The less active life-style and food over saturated with fats and sugars has caused numerous health problems as well. All in all, the human health has become dependent on the pharmacy and its products, and without it it will suffer badly.

What is a point mutation?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

A) A single base pair change.

Explanation:

Point mutation is a change in a single base pair of a nucleotide. This comes as a results of mistakes made during DNA replication, induced by ultravoilet radiations, extreme heat and X-rays. There are three types of point or substitution mutations; change, deletion and insertion. The nucleotide bases are either mistakenly inserted, changed or deleted, thus changing the resulting protein or amino acid being coded for.
