Answer: HD gene. 
Explanation: 
The HD gene's mutation results in Huntington disease. It was mapped to chromosome 4 in 1983. HD is known as the quintessential family disease where there is a 50/50 chance of carrying a faulty gene to the subsequent generations. It is a fatal genetic progressive disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, emotional problems, and loss of thinking ability due to progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain.

MAVERICK [17]

The correct answer is: b. the removal of introns and alternative splicing of exons

Post-transcriptional regulation includes processes of regulation between transcription and translation such as RNA splicing, capping, addition of poly-A tail,  RNA editing.

RNA splicing represents the process of RNA processing in which newly synthesized pre-mRNA transcript is converted into a mature mRNA. This process occurs only in eukaryotic organism and includes the removal of introns and joining together the exons. RNA splicing might occur during or immediately after transcription and it is performed by spliceosome (complex of small nuclear ribonucleo proteins).

Alternative splicing is a regulated process in which a single gene can code for multiple proteins because particular exons of a gene may be included within or excluded from the final mRNA.
