Answer:

The disease is caused mainly because of the attack on the myelin sheath by own immune system.

Explanation:

The MS or multiple sclerosis refers to a possibly disabling disorder of central nervous system. In the condition, immune system fights against and destroys the myelin, that is, the protective sheath, which envelopes the nerve fibers. This causes problems of communications between the brain and the entire part of the body. Ultimately, the disease can result in deterioration or permanent destruction of the nerves.

Answer:

A sperm cell

Explanation:

A diploid cell has 46 chromosomes which is normally signified by somatic cells. Germ cells or gametes are haploid cells therefore they contain only 23 chromosomes. Male gamete contains 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. That sex chromosome can be X or Y.

Female gamete does not have Y chromosome as a sex chromosome, it has only X chromosome as a sex chromosome. So Y chromosome in a human cell which have 22 autosomes determines that it is a male gametic cell or a sperm cell. Sperm cells that have a Y chromosome if fuses with female gamete produce male offspring(XY).  

So the correct answer is- a sperm cell.
