Ans.
HD (Huntington's disease) is a genetic neurological disorder that occurs due to damage and death of brain cells. it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in HTT (huntingtin) gene, having a trinucleotide repeat section that makes HTT protein.
The mutation leads to an increase in this nucleotide repeat count, associated with formation of altered or mutated huntingtin protein. These altered proteins show deleterious affect on brain cells and result in Huntington's disease.
Thus, the correct answer is 'option A). a mutated gene.'
Answer:
3. Endotherms spend more energy on internal temperature regulation compared to ectotherms.
Explanation:
Ectotherms, are considered as cold-blooded animals (reptiles and amphibians), and are organisms that don't have the ability to generate enough heat to keep themselves warm. Endotherms, in contrast, do possess the ability to generate their own body heat.
Endotherms also called warm blooded animals (mammals) have the ability to regulate their body temperature by themselves. If the endotherms are in a cold place their body increases the metabolism and generates more heat. This will compensate for the cold outside.
Different soil, location can be a factor, the amount of sun, wild and domesticated can vary
