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.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

\frac{dN}{dt} = 14130

Explanation:

Logistic growth is a measure of continuous growth of a population of individuals in such an environment where the resources are limited. Such type of growth pattern has a characteristic growth curve which is S-shaped or sigmoidal.

The equation for logistic growth is as follows -

Change in population size = \frac {dN}{dt} = rN(K- \frac {N}{K})

Where,

N = size of population

r = intrinsic rate of increase

K = carrying capacity

The values of r, N and K are given in the question as 12, 30 and 40 respectively.

So,

\frac{dN}{dt} = 12 \times 30(40 - \frac{30}{40}) = 14130
