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.'

When glucose is converted to ethanol by yeast (as in the production of beer) how much of the chemical energy that was originally
aniked [119]

Answer:

<h2>92%</h2>

Explanation:

When glucose is converted to ethanol by yeast, one mole of glucose is converted  into two moles of ethanol and two moles of carbon dioxide,  

and this process produce two moles of ATP.  

C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2

When glucose is converted to ethanol by yeast (as in the production of beer) 92% of the chemical energy that was originally stored in glucose still remains in the end product, ethanol, that is produced.

What are some of the conditions that the cell must regulate in order to maintain homeostasis? Do
Drupady [299]

Answer:

to maintain homeostasis these things must be controlled:

  • pH levels in the body (I.e. the stomach)
  • wanted levels
  • sugar levels
  • level of Co2 in our bodies
  • blood glucose levels
  • body temperature

we maintain homeostasis to ensure that our enzymes, which speed up or make chemical reactions are working well and work within he required conditions.

external things we can do to maintain homeostasis:

  • wearing the appropriate clothing in summer and winter
  • consuming the correct temperature beverages (i.e. cold drinks in summer)
  • consumitn the correct temperature and nutrient required foods (I.e. nutritious pumpkin soup in winter)

we also shiver when we are cold - the friction between our muscles produces heat.
