Answer and Explanation:
The Huntington disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that codifies for the Huntingtin protein (Htt). The mutation produces an altered form of the protein leading to the neuron´s death in certain areas of the brain.
The Huntington disease characterizes for being,
- Hereditary, passing from generation to generation. To express the disease, a 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, which means that by getting only one copy of the altered gene coming 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.
There are just a few cases all around the world (3% approximately) in which the disease is expressed with no family history. The progenitors are not affected by the mutation. These cases are very rare and are called <u>"de-novo" mutations.</u> A new mutation is spontaneously produced and it is not inherited from any of the parentals. It consists of an increase in the number of CAG repetitions. In a normal person, the number of CAG repetitions is less than 35. When there are 40 or more repetitions it occurs the disease. But when there are between 35 and 39 repetitions, the penetrance of the disease is incomplete. This is a "gray zone". Those alleles that fall in the gray zone are unstable and might produce the HD. Individuals with these unstable alleles have a tendency to increase the number of repetitions from generation to generation until the number reaches 40 repetitions and the person expresses the disease. This <u>usually occurs in the paternal germinal line</u>, as it is particularly unstable in sperm and probably meiosis greatly affects their instability, causing an increase in the number of CAG repeats.
Answer:
Theoretical yield of tungsten produced = 35.6836915592 ≈ 35. 68 g
Explanation:
The chemical equation can be expressed as follows;
WO3 (s) + 3H2(g) → W(s) + 3 H20(g)
Note that the equation is already balanced.
Molecular Mass of WO3= 183.84 + 15.999 × 3 = 183.84 + 47.997 = 231.837 g
From the equation 1 mole of WO3 reacts with 3 mole of hydrogen molecule.
Molecular mass of tungsten(W) = 183.84 g
1 mole of tungsten was produced from the chemical equation.
WO3 (s) + 3H2(g) → W(s) + 3 H20(g)
From the equation,
231. 837 g of WO3 produces 183.84 g of tungsten
45.0 g of WO3 will produce ?
grams of tungsten produced = 183.84 × 45 /231.837
grams of tungsten produced = 8272.8
/231.837
Theoretical yield of tungsten produced = 35.6836915592 ≈ 35. 68 g
<u>Answer</u>:
The organic chemicals that helps cell membranes to conserve the internal fluids are phospholipids.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Phospholipids are used to form plasma membrane of the cell. Plasma membrane surrounds the cell contents like various cell organelles, nucleus, ribosomes and proteins. A phospholipid molecules is made up if a polar head containing a phosphate group and the two non-polar tails made of long chains of hydrocarbon of fatty acids.
The another name for plasma membrane is phospholipid bilayer. The polar head is hydrophilic that interactes with polar environment while facing outside the bilayer while the non-polar tail is hydrophobic in nature which makes the internal hydrophobic region of cell membrane which faces inside the bilayer.
