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.'
Plant cells have a cell wall. They also have a larger water vacuole.
Answer: Point mutation is easily reversible, thus non-lethal
Explanation:
Point mutation is caused by exchange of a single nucleotide for another. These change is called
1) Transition (when a purine base substitute another purine base, or pyrimidine bases substitute each other)
2) Transversion (when a purine base substitute a pyrimidine base).
However, note that a point mutation can be easily reversed by another point mutation; so, the claim that a nucleotide difference in the Hsr12 gene caused the human disease is inaccurate
