This unit's theme is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. For an overview of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, see https:// www.mda.org/disease/duchenne-muscular-dystrophy/overview. The following questions relate to the cause, diagnosis and treatment of DMD The first 5 questions are 'scavenger hunts'. DMD is caused by mutations in a gene called Dystrophin, which codes for a protein used in muscle movement. Consider the genome. Do you think that most of the genome is made of protein-coding genes, like dystrophin? (Hint, no.) What makes up the largest part of the genome? Tandem-repeat sequences, like satellites ORegulatory regions and introns O Protein-coding genes QUESTION 2 Though most instances of DMD are the result of an inherited allele, some cases are the result of a spontaneous mutation during replication events early in life. DNA replication macromolecules (nucleic acidsj. Which of the following is the 'assembler during DNA replication? it to save and Save All Answers to save all answers

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1:

Largest part of human genome consists of interspersed repeats which make up about 45% of genome.

Human genome consists of coding, non coding, and repeat sequences.

They are moderately repeated sequence in DNA and scattered throughout the genome. Repeatitive sequence include transposable elements also.

b. Interspersed repeat sequence
