Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused bya recessive mutant allele of an X-linked gene calleddystrophin. Rarely, females have disease symptomsas severe as those in males hemizygous for therecessive allele. These females are heterozygous forX-autosome reciprocal translocations where the Xchromosome breakage occurred in the middle of thedystrophin gene, breaking it into two pieces.a. If it is equally likely for X chromosome inactivation to spread from either of the X chromosomeinactivation centers (XICs; see Fig. 12.15) in thecells of this patient, what proportion of her cellswould you expect to have normal function of thedystrophin gene?

Stress

Stress is defined as the feeling of being overwhelmed or unable to cope with emotional or mental pressure. Any event or action that makes a person annoyed, furious, or nervous can trigger it. Chemical changes in the body caused by stress can cause blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and heart rate to rise.
