DMD is inherited as an X-linked disease. X-linked genetic disorders are conditions caused by an abnormal gene on the X chromosome and manifest mostly in males. Females that have a defective gene present on one of their X chromosomes are carriers for that disorder

A. It can contaminate groundwater.
B. It uses a renewable resource.
C. It consumes a radioactive material.
D. It produces more hazardous waste.
Explanation:
Answer:
<u>Living things are derived from single units and show several characteristics such as growth respiration, response to stimuli, homeostasis, evolution, and reproduction.</u>
Explanation:
The natural world comprises several biotic or living and abiotic, non-living factors. Cells, are considered the smallest unit capable of supporting life. All living, or biotic factors must be able to grow, carry out respiration- a process that produces energy, and reproduce (pass on genes). They also show some level of organization or complexity, and respond to stimuli. Additionally, living organisms exhibit homeostasis or control over their internal environment and evolve or change over time to adapt to their external environments.
Answer:
B) a higher protein to lipid ratio.
Explanation:
The cell membrane of eukaryotes is known to be a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. This implies that the first tube will contain a higher amount of lipids.
The membrane of the mitochondria is slightly different from the cell membrane in which its protein to lipid ratio is higher, containing a large number of integral proteins.
Answer:
temporal reproductive isolation
Explanation:
The correct answer would be temporal reproductive isolation.
<u>Reproductive isolation</u> generally refers to series of biological mechanisms or processes that prevent members of different species from mating/fertilization or prevent the product of their mating to be invalid.
Some reproductive isolation processes prevent members of different species from mating or prevent fertilization as a result of mating. These processes are known as pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms.
Some other processes ensure that the product of fertilization (when it occurs) is invalid. These are known as post-zygotic isolation mechanisms.
<em>A good example of the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation process is </em><em>when closely related by different species bloom at different times</em><em>. This will prevent mating or cross-pollination to happen between the different species. This is known as temporal reproductive isolation.</em>
