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.'

_____ is a regulatory mechanism in which the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an enzyme that catalyzes an early step
hjlf

Answer:

Option C) Feedback inhibition

Feedback inhibition is a regulatory mechanism in which the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an enzyme that catalyzes an early step in the pathway.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is a regulatory mechanism in which a biochemical pathway is regulated by the amount of the product that the pathway produces. Thus, it is also known as end-point inhibition.

For example:

The accumulation of ATP inhibits the action of phosphofructokinase, the enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step of glycolysis
