The symptoms of degenerative muscle diseases relate to progressive weakness in the affected muscle groups.egenerative muscle diseases that affect the muscles of the mouth and throat typically cause speech, chewing and swallowing difficulties.

Propagate new strawberry plants from transplanted nursery berry plants by moving the strawberry's runners to open spaces in the bed. Typical plantings space plants 18 to 30 in. apart in rows 3 to 4 ft. apart.
Propagare, in turn, derives from propages, meaning layer (of a plant), slip, offspring. It makes sense, therefore, that the earliest uses of propagate referred to facilitating the reproduction of a plant or animal. Nowadays, however, the meaning of propagate can extend to the reproduction of something intangible, such as an idea or belief. Incidentally, propaganda also comes to us from propagare, although it took a somewhat different route into English.
