Question

question 6 1 pts which of the following statements most likely explains why duchenne muscular dystrophy is more common than hemophilia? hemophilia is actually more common, but cases are not usually reported. spontaneous mutations in genes associated with muscular dystrophy are more common. the allele for duchenne muscular dystrophy is more common in the population. people affected by muscular dystrophy tend to have more children.

Explanation:

Duchenne muscular dystrophy being more common is likely due to higher - frequency spontaneous mutations in its associated genes compared to hemophilia. Hemophilia not being reported is not a likely reason for Duchenne's higher prevalence. The allele frequency and reproductive rates of affected individuals are not the main factors explaining the difference in prevalence.

Answer:

Spontaneous mutations in genes associated with muscular dystrophy are more common.
