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.

List the events of the sodium potassium pump in the correct sequence, starting at the TOP.
marishachu [46]

<u>Answer</u>:

<em>Sodium potassium pump works by following several steps. </em>

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>1. Carrier protein binds three molecules of Na+ </em>

<em>2. ATP is split, phosphate bonds to carrier. </em>

<em>3. Carrier protein changes shape, and deposits Na on the outside of the cell. </em>

<em>4. Carrier binds two molecules of K </em>

<em>5. Phosphate is released. </em>

<em>6. Potassium is released inside the cell </em>

Sodium -potassium pump is essential to maintain the concentration of sodium and potassium outside and inside the cell respectively.

It is the function of sodium potassium pump to transport sodium out of the cell and potassium inside of the cell against a concentration gradient.

<em>Thus it is an active transport mechanism. </em>
