Answer:

The disease is autosomal dominant.

Explanation:

Huntigton's disease is an autosomal dominant disease because the allele for this disease is present on an autosomal chromosome and the person with even one mutated allele (H) can develop the disease even if he has one normal allele (h) too. If a person is affected with Huntigton's disease, there are 50 percent chances that the children will also suffer from the disease.


For example: A father is suffering from Huntigton's disease but mother is normal. Let us see how it will be passed to kids.


P1:                                   Hh :           hh

Gametes:                         H :         h:      h:       h

Offspring:                         Hh:       Hh:      hh:        hh

                                               50%        :       50%

Therefore, 50 percent chances are there that the kids will have disease even if only parent suffers from it.

ALL animals make use of other animals and organisms for food. They are heterotrophic so they have to get energy elsewhere.

ALL animals are capable of motion at some stage of their lives.

Animals developed specialized cells and tissues that are advanced and complex.

And because all animals eat I would assume they all digest the food they ingest. Other than parasites who don't really digest their food.

tankabanditka [31]
Excessive calorie intake during pregnancy can result in a fetus that has high birth weight. Pregnant women have indeed higher energy requirements but only by 300 calories daily. Eating an excessive amount of calories daily during pregnancy can lead to an increased weight gain that can result in an increased birth weight. Excessive weight gain during pregnancy can also endanger the progression of the pregnancy and the delivery of the baby.

Are atoms created or destroyed in a chemical reaction? How do you know?​
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

No atoms are created or destroyed in chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Matter cannot be created or destroyed. When two reactants contact each other, a chemical reaction occurs which breaks the bonds between atoms and rearranges them, forming new bonds which transform them into the product. The same amount of atoms exists before and after the reaction.

The processivity of a DNA polymerase depends on all of the following actions, EXCEPT for __________.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Option (D).

Explanation:

Processivity of DNA polymerase may be defined as the number of nucleotides added in the single binding event. The synthesis phase of cell cycle is fully dependent on the processivity of DNA polymerase.

The processivity of DNA polymerase depends on the sliding clamp, domains of the DNA and the interaction of DNA with enzyme. Loss of hydrogen ion at 3'OH primer does not affect processivity but important for the nucleophile attack and also effect the catalytic property of enzyme.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
