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.

3A- Negative feedback occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by other disturbances.

3B- Negative feedback loops are used to maintain homeostasis and achieve the set point within a system. Negative feedback loops are characterized by their ability to either increase or decrease a stimulus, inhibiting the ability of the stimulus to continue as it did prior to sensing of the receptor.

-Present-day mitochondria and chloroplasts probably evolved as a consequence of early endosymbiosis: the ancestor of the eukaryo
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The evidence suggests that these chloroplast organelles were also once free-living bacteria.

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic event that generated mitochondria must have happened early in the history of eukaryotes, because all eukaryotes have them.

How are the law of independent assortment and the law of segregation different?
san4es73 [151]
Hi there!

The law of independent assortment says that the traits are randomly selected, there is no pattern to how they are sorted. The law of segregation says that the traits are divided between each gamete, using a pattern to sort them.

Hope this helps!! :)

Look at the diagram below.
Vesna [10]

Answer:

<em>In order to reach equilibrium, water will move outside the cell to reach equilibrium. </em>A cell tends to lose or gain water in order to reach equilibrium.

If there are more number of solutes outside the cell, then the water will move out of the cell in order to maintain equilibrium. On the other hand, if there are more number of solutes inside the cell then the water will move inside the cell to maintain equilibrium.
