Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human x chromosome. the patient
dedylja [7]
Duchenne muyscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, so a male gets it from his mother's X, if she is a carrier. The male child gets a Y and no X from his father, so the disease is always transmitted through the X from the mother. If a female gets Duchenne muscular dystrophy she has to have two X chromosomes, one from a carrier mother and another from from an affected father. This is virtually impossible because most males die before childbearing age and there is no way a female child can get an X from a man who does not live long enough to procreate. About eight percent of carrier women do show some muscle weakness, but they do not have the disease.

More vessel means more surface area and blood flow rate to do the diffusion of the gas which means increased diffusion rate. This will allow the lung to transfer oxygen and dump carbon dioxide faster.</span>
