It is expected to see in the offspring of a woman who has DMD and a man who does not have the disease that all of their sons and none of their daughters will have the disease
Option A.
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
Duchene muscular dystrophy, also known as DMD is a recessive, x-linked disease. It occurs when there is a mutation in the dystrophin gene. This mutation further affects the muscles of the body leading it to degenerate and ultimately death.
When a woman with DMD and a man without DMD have an offspring, their daughters and the sons will get the mutated gene signature from the mother as she is the carrier. But since the father has normal genes, the daughters will become the carriers and will not be afflicted by it. This is because the normal X chromosome from the father will be passed on to them. The sons on the other hand will have the disease as they will get one of their mother's X chromosome which would be carrying the mutated gene.
Answer:
This structure has not been highly beneficial for the organism
Explanation:
Vestigial structures are cells, tissues, and/or organs that have no apparent function. Vestigial structures are retained during the course of the evolution, but often they are degenerate and/or atrophied (due to disuse). In general, these structures are homologous to anatomical structures that play a specific role in evolutionarily related species. Some examples of vestigial structures include, among others, the presence of the appendix in humans and wings in flightless birds.
Diseases have multiple ways of infiltrating your body. Diseases can be transported through blood, air, and physical touch. Once the disease has infiltrated the body, it can spread through out the body in many ways. One of which is by feeding off of other cells energy and reproducing. The pathogens travel through the blood and irritate cells. The irritation of cells can cause the body to consume more energy, to repair the damage. This causes symptoms like tiredness, regurgitation, and sometimes in extreme cases, death.

Question: Select the correct statement about the special fetal blood vessels.
A The umbilical vein becomes the ligamentum teres.
B The distal parts of the umbilical arteries form the superior vesical arteries.
C The hepatic portal vein forms from the umbilical artery.
D The fossa ovalis becomes the f
oramen ovale.
Answer:
C) The umbilical vein becomes the ligamentum teres.
Explanation:
After birth, many vascular changes occur in the newborn child as the pulmonary, renal and digestive systems start functioning. As the umbilical cord is tied off and severed, the blood does not flow through the umbilical arteries. The umbilical vein in the child collapses but remains as the ligamentum teres. Ligamentum teres is a round ligament and serves to attach the umbilicus to the liver. It is present in the free border of the falciform ligament of the liver.
