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.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "Iron has a higher heat capacity than lead".

Heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat transferred required in order to raise the temperature of an object by 1°.

The higher the heat capacity the more the heat transfer is required to raise the temperature.

Iron has higher heat capacity as compared to the lead due to which it requires more heat transfer to raise the temperature of the iron as compared to the lead.

It is why the temperature of the lead increases more as compared to iron even though they absorbed the same amount of thermal energy.
