Answer:

Its is a lysosomal storage disease!

Explanation:

<u>Hurler syndrome:-</u> is also known as mucopolysaccharidosis-I .

It Is due to the mutation on chromosome 4 .

There is a lack of of enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase.This enzyme is present in lysosomes

It causes accumulation of mucopolysaccharides because of the absent of the enzyme in the lysosome

<u>Hunter syndrome:- </u>is also known as mucopolysaccharidosis-II

It occurs due to mutation in iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene.It is an X-linked disease

Two genetic diseases, Hunter and Hurler syndromes, are caused by an inability of cells to break down and recycle mucopolysaccharides, which are substances found in the extracellular areas of the body. A lysosomes is an organelle responsible for performing breaking down and recycling function in normal cells.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The lysosomes is one of the important organelles in the intra-cellular digestive systems. Its main function involves removal of wastes, including digestion of excess worn-out cells, viruses, bacteria, and other food particles.

It contains acid hydro-lase which is a digestive enzyme. Due to these functions, it is also otherwise called scavenger of the cells. Malfunctioning of lysosomes will result in LSD, lysosomes storage disorders.

Examples: Hunter syndrome, Fabry and Gaucher disease.

Which statement explains why earthquakes tend to be deeper near subduction zones?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option C, At a subduction zone, oceanic crust is forced deep into the Earth.

Explanation:

At sub-duction zone, the dense oceanic plates coincides with the less dense continental plates and thus sink below the continental plates. Sometimes these oceanic plates being dense, sink to greater depth with in the earth’s mantle. The sub-duction zone causes  earth quakes of high intensity when oceanic crust penetrates to greater depths of earth crust as they tend to change the rheology of the earths’ mantle and also causes bending of plates

Hence, option C is correct
