Answer:

Purging on demand can have a negative affect on the body.

Explanation:

The stomach creates strong acid to help in the break down of the food that we eat to get nutrients from it. When a person suffering from Bulimia Nervosa eats, they generally eat large amounts of food, and purge it all. This is because they get anxiety from getting to fat, which leads to them eating (anxiety can lead to binge eating). However, because the thing they are anxious about is getting fat, and binge eating generally leads to fattening, they would try to reduce the calories gotten by purposefully purging, and getting rid of the food. This would lead to the stomach acid going from the stomach up the esophagus and into the mouth, which can cause the acid to sear the internal organs and damage them. Long-term effect of this may lead to the need for emergency medical treatment and treatment programs afterwards.

Answer:

Muscular dystrophy runs in the mother's family.

Explanation:

Muscular dystrophy is able to pass down from the parents of a child. Females have two X genes that are able to make the dystrophin protein, but when one of their X genes becomes a carrier for muscular dystrophy, they can pass it down if that gene is the gene given to their child, which can become dangerous especially if the child is male. Males have an X and a Y gene, and depending on which gene is given to the child, the child will be either male or female. When the Y gene is given from the father and the defective X gene is given from the mother, the male child doesn't have another X gene to make the protein dystrophin and therefore is at risk for muscular dystrophy.

I'm not great at explaining things, I hope this helps :)
