Answer:

There is a 50% chance of getting Huntingdon's disease.

Explanation:

Assume the affected parent is Hh, where H is the Huntingdon's disease allele and h is the unaffected allele. One parent is unaffected, or hh. You have a 50% chance of getting the H allele from the affected parent.

If I had the choice to get tested, for Huntingdon's disease, I would do it.  I would want to know so that I wouldn't  live my life worrying about it everyday.

Why doesn''t the patellar reflex happen when your leg is straight?
irga5000 [103]

The patellar reflex can be defined as the kicking movement of the lower leg which occurs with a sudden twitch when the patellar tendon of a person is tapped. This patellar tendon is present below a person's kneecap. This reflex happens only when the leg is bended. It is impossible for patellar reflex to occur if the leg is straight as the quadriceps muscles are already contracted and a sudden kicking movement of the leg in such state could not be elicited.  The patellar reflex protects the quadriceps  from stretching too much.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Energy produced by respiration is stored in Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration uses glucose and turns it into ATP. Using NADH and FADH₂ (Created in the Krebs Cycle) in the Electron Transport Chain, we can produce 32-38 molecules of ATP. ATP carries a lot of energy, and your cells and body uses ATP (ATP is basically like a large battery).
