Answer;
-Impact late enough in life so that the individual can reproduce.
Explanation;
-Huntington's disease is an inherited disease that causes the progressive breakdown (degeneration) of nerve cells in the brain. Huntington's disease has a broad impact on a person's functional abilities and usually results in movement, thinking (cognitive) and psychiatric disorders.
-It is caused by an inherited defect in a single gene. Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder, which means that a person needs only one copy of the defective gene to develop the disorder.
-Huntington's disease is a progressive and fatal type of dementia caused by dominant alleles.
It is important that the cell membrane contains openings into the cell because different ions and molecules enter and exit the cell through pores (membrane channels) located in the membrane.
<em>Answer:</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>
Answer:
C) Release of von Willebrand factor (vWF) from the endothelium, not the epithelium.
Explanation:
Hemostasis is the physiological process of reparation and maintenance of a blood vessel to stop excess loss of blood in case of vascular injury. This process occurs in four stages:
- Vascular Injury i.e. a breach in the endothelial barrier. This results in the dislodge of endothelial cells, exposing the collagen fibers underneath.
- Vascular constriction or vasoconstriction is the constriction of the blood vessels to prevent excessive blood loss.
- Platelet plug formation involves the aggregation and adhesion of platelets to the endothelium.
- Coagulation
Platelet plug formation occurs by the adhesion of circulating platelets to the collagen fibers that have been exposed by dislodging of the endothelial cells. The endothelium, as well as the platelets release a ligand known as the von Willebrand factor (vWF). This molecule acts as a relay or bridge between the integrin receptors on the platelets and the exposed collagen fibers.
Platelets also release chemicals to attract more platelets to the wound site, resulting in more vWF release. This results in more and more platelets adhering to the endothelium, leading to platelet plug formation.
