Answer:

Male or Son

Explanation:

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a disorder caused by RNA mutation. DMD occurs due to an inherent mutation, and it passes through a mother to her offspring. Thus, women are more likely to be carriers of the disease. If a woman has the defective gene and has a son,<u> the son has a 50 percent chance of developing the disease</u>. While a daughter would not develop the disease, she would have a 50 percent chance of being a carrier. Women have two copies of the gene affected by this disease, and men only have one copy of it. If there is an error in this gene, women have a backup copy. Men do not. This form of muscular dystrophy is found in 1 of 3,600 male infants. It generally causes death before the child reaches 25 years of age. As with cystic fibrosis, there is no known cure.

Vicky grew up with many pets and has a profound love of animals. At the age of 20, she sees a documentary on the Internet that s
bekas [8.4K]

According to the scientific research and results on this topic, Vicky would not be able to satisfy the demand of her body for protein without consuming any products that are derived from animals.

Vicky's goal and intentions are good and noble ones, as she loves animals, respects them, and do not want them to be slaughtered so that she can eat them. Unfortunately, her body would not react good to her stopping consuming all animal products, especially if she has a blood type O.

The humans are omnivores, thus consume both plants and animals and the products of the animals. The human body needs meat in order to get enough iron, so the chances are very high that Vicky will become anemic very quickly, especially by being a volleyball player and spending much more than the ordinary person. Also, the human body process the proteins from animal origin the easiest, while it finds it hard to do the same with the proteins from pant origin, thus Vicky will soon become much less energetic and not be bale to perform as good as she did earlier. The brain functioning will also be affected, as it is the organ that needs the most energy and by lacking it, Vicky will start to have troubles with her concentration and thinking process.

Social Problems.................................

I dont have the answer to every answer but I can help you with 3. 

3. I think people are motivated in different ways, one way might work for someone while on the other hand it wont work for someone else. When I think of this question its hard to come up with a answer that could work for a majority. If you are trying to motivate someone else then maybe praise them or take them out for dinner or something to make them feel happy they did so, or 'motivated'. Of course, "what about those who do not have friends, family, or normal human contact?" Now in that case this makes this much more harder. I guess theres not much more you can do other than, educated them in school about the consequences and rewards of working long term, and short term, or advertising the good about working.
