Huntington’s disease is an autosomal dominant affection. Parental's genotype FF and ff. Cross: FF x ff. F1) 100% Ff, heterozygous individuals (Option D).

<h3>What is the Huntington’s disease?</h3>

Huntington's disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that codifies the Huntington protein (Htt).

The mutation produces an altered form of the protein leading to the neuron death in certain brain areas.

Huntington's disease characterizes for being,

  • Hereditary, passing from generation to generation. To express the disease the person must have been born with an altered gene.

     

  • Autosomal, affecting men and women equally because the mutated gene is located on an autosomal chromosome.

  • Dominant, meaning that by inheriting only one copy of the altered gene from any of the parents, the receiving person will express the disease. The mutation in the gene dominates over the normal gene copy.

  • Expressed by heterozygosis. Most people affected by the disease are heterozygous, with a normal copy and a mutated copy.

<u>Question number 5</u>

To produce only individuals with the genotype Ff, the parentals genotypes must be homozygous dominant and recessive. This is,

Cross: The cross is done between one homozygous recessive and one homozygous dominant individual

Parentals)  FF   x   ff

Gametes)  F   F     f   f

Punnett square)    F      F

                    f        Ff       Ff

                    f        Ff       Ff

F1) 100% of the progeny is expected to be heterozygous Hh, expressing Huntingnot's disease.

Norma-Jean [14]

The surgical removal of the membrane that lines the interior of a joint is known as Joint Synovectomy.

The surgical removal of the synovial membrane, the tissue that lines the joint capsule, is known as a joint synovectomy.

The body's synovium surrounds the joints and creates synovial fluid to lubricate the joint and promote easy mobility.

The joint disease causes the synovium to inflame (synovitis) and overproduce synovial fluid, which contains an enzyme that can eat away at the cartilage on the joint surface, causing bone-on-bone on bone joint discomfort.

When you have a painful, disabling joint issue that does not improve with non-surgical treatments including rest, drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroid injections, and physical therapy, your surgeon will typically advise joint synovectomy.

Hence, the surgical removal of the membrane that lines the interior of a joint is known as Joint Synovectomy.

MrMuchimi

The answer is recessive alleles. Generally, a recessive allele is the form of a gene that codes for a non-functional protein. When an individual inherits recessive allele for a gene from both parents, then they are more likely to suffer a disorder that is attributed to lack of the respective functional protein. Often the heterozygous individual will not bear the disorder even though they carry the recessive allele. This is because the dominant allele is able to mask the recessive allele by producing a functional protein.
