Huntington’s disease is an inherited condition that breaks down nerve cells over time. The disease is not curable and can last years or a lifetime‚ although medication is available to help deal with the symptoms (Ferrara 247-248). Those who have this disease have a life expectancy of 10-15 years after they are diagnosed. It has a broad impact on a person’s functions such as movement‚ thinking‚ and psychiatric disorders (Staff). Most people develop these symptoms in their 30s or 40s‚ however those

“Eukaryotic chromosomes are generally much bigger than those of prokaryotes. In eukaryotic cells‚ replication may begin at dozens or even hundreds of places on the DNA molecule‚ proceeding in both directions until each chromosome is completely copied. Although a number of proteins check DNA for chemical damage or base pair mismatches prior to replication‚ the system is not foolproof. Damaged regions of DNA are sometimes replicated‚ resulting in changes to DNA base sequences that may alter certain

History Research Paper The 1920’s had enormous potential for the U.S‚ America was the world’s superpower‚ American’s had luxurious houses‚ cars and high standards of living. Although the U.S gained a lot of prosperity in this year‚ there was still remaining problems like inequality that steamed from the past. The 1920’s was a dramatic and radical change to American life and even more dramatic change for women. Women have tried to gain freedom‚ independence and equality of man since man put labels

Chromosome 11 is in group C‚ it is of medium size‚ its relative length is 4.82 Chromosome 11 is submetacentric‚ meaning that the centromere is closer to one end‚ causing one longer arm and one shorter arm. The centromeric index for chromosome 11 is 40.46. Calculations can be seen below. Centromeric index = (p / p + q) x 100 (1.95 / 4.82) x 100 = 40.46 The protein that HBB gene encodes is beta-globin. Beta-globin is a component of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells‚ and it normally

P1: Explain how sperm and ova are formed by producing an annotated diagram of meiosis and discussing what happens in ogenesis and spermatogenesis In the male‚ meiosis precedes sex cell differentiation. A single spermatogonium enters the first meiotic division as a primary spermatocyte. This division produces two secondary spermatocytes‚ each of which divides to form two haploid spermatids. Each spermatid then differentiates (by a process called spermiogenesis) into a spermatozoon by the elaboration

Explain the structure and inheritance of genes (15 marks) A cell’s nucleus contains chromosomes‚ which are long‚ coiled packaged and organized chromatin (molecules of DNA). Chromatin is a complex of molecules found in cells‚ consisting of DNA‚ protein and RNA. Proteins are polypeptides (a large sequence of amino acids). The chief protein component of chromatin are histones‚ which package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes in order to fit in the cell‚ as well as reinforce the
