Ans.
HD (Huntington's disease) is a genetic neurological disorder that occurs due to damage and death of brain cells. it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in HTT (huntingtin) gene, having a trinucleotide repeat section that makes HTT protein.
The mutation leads to an increase in this nucleotide repeat count, associated with formation of altered or mutated huntingtin protein. These altered proteins show deleterious affect on brain cells and result in Huntington's disease.
Thus, the correct answer is 'option A). a mutated gene.'
A replication bubble forms as the DNA unwinds.
Option C
<u>Explanation</u>:
Replication bubble is the space where the strands of double helical DNA structure are separated with the help of DNA helicase. The strands of the double helical DNA are still in the helix form on the both end of the unwinded DNA stand which gives this region an appearance of a bubble.
DNA unwinding is the first step in replication or transcription of the DNA molecule. DNA helicase separates the two types of "DNA" that are connected by hydrogen bonds with the help of ATP hydrolysis.
Answer:
c. reabsorbing hydrogen
Explanation:
In this scenario, the individual's kidneys will do all of the following except for reabsorbing hyrdogen. This is because, in a scenario like this where the body pH levels decline the kidneys begin to secrete hydrogen, they do not reabsorb it. It is this process of acid elimination that ultimately causes the body's pH levels to begin rising and restoring themselves to normal. Therefore the answer to this question is c.
