Please answer “True” or “False” for questions 1-5.

1) The defective gene in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) was identified using amino acid sequence obtained from the protein dystrophin purified from skeletal muscle.

2) In dystrophin-deficient mice, the loss of muscle contractile force after eccentric contraction correlates with increased plasma membrane damage.

3) The loss of dystrophin is the only cause of muscular dystrophy in humans.

4) Dysferlin prevents rupture of the muscle plasma membrane during contraction of stretch.

5) Muscular dystrophy can be caused by gene mutations that disrupt carbohydrates.
