The order of bases in DNA corresponds to the ordering of amino acids to form the proteins. To produce protein

Spermatogenesis Spermatogenesis is the production of the male gametes (reproductive or sex cell) otherwise known as sperm. The production of sperm takes place in the seminiferous tubules within the testes and are formed from cells by a type of cell division called mitosis and then meiosis. This process begins at puberty. Spermatogonia cells are made by mitotic division of the primordial germ cell. Mitotic cell division produces diploid cells that are identical to the Parent cell with 46 chromosomes

investigations show abnormalities that specify the distribution of inflammatory lesions and axonal loss (MRI); hindrance of transmission in previously myelinated pathways (evoked electrophysiological potentials); and intrathecal combination of oligoclonal antibody (examination by lumbar puncture of the cerebral fluid). Multiple sclerosis is triggered by ecological dynamics in individuals with multifarious genetic-risk profiles. Licensed disease modifying agents lessen the rate of recurrence of new episodes
