Answer:

Tay-Sachs disease results from brain lacking a specific type of lipid-digesting enzyme.

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease occurs when relatively large amounts of gangliosides are stored in the brain. It is the oldest lipid storage disease and is a hereditary disorder caused by deficiency of a lipid-digesting enzyme known as "hexosaminidase A", which cleaves a specific bond in the gangliosides.

Its deficiency cause accumulation of gangliosides in the lysosomes of BRAIN CELLS thereby causing degeneration of the nervous system.

What does it mean if a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Be specific.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The Hardy-Weinberg law states that in a sufficiently large population, in which matings occur randomly and that is not subject to mutation, selection or migration, gene and genotypic free frequencies are kept constant from one generation to another, once a state of equilibrium has been reached, which in autosomal loci is reached after one generation.

It is said that a population is in equilibrium when the alleles of the polymorphic systems maintain their frequency in the population throughout the generations.
