PLEASE HELP! huntington’s disease (HD) is prevalent South Africa. Most of the families with HD have Dutch or British ancestry, which suggests they inherited the European HD allele. HD is believed to have first arrived in South Africa more than 300 years ago when Dutch colonists settled into the Western Cape in the 1600s. Thus, the prevalence of HD in South Africa is the result of the founder effect.
Mutations in the HTT gene cause Huntington’s disease. The HTT gene provides instructions for making a protein called huntintin. This protein plays a role in nerve cells in the brain. The HTT mutation that causes HD involves a DNA segment known as a CAG trinucleotide repeat. This segment is made up of a series of three DNA building blocks that appear multiple times in a row. Normally, the CAG segment is repeated 10 to 35 times within the gene. In people with HD, the CAG segment is repeated 36 to more than 120 times. An increase in the size of the CAG segment leads to the production of an abnormally long version of the huntintin protein. This causes the dysfunction and eventual death of neurons in certain areas of the brain. The more repeats, the more serious the disease is.
HD is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. There is both an adult onset (after reproductive age) and a juvenile onset pattern. People with adult onset typically have 40 to 50 repeats, while people with the juvenile form tend to have more than 60 repeats. Individuals who have 27 to 35 repeats do not develop HD, but they are at risk of having children who will develop the disorder. As the gene is passed on to offspring, the size of the repeat may lengthen into the range associated with HD.
Predict what will happen to the allele frequencies for Huntington’s disease in South Africa if there were a new mutation to the HTT gene that causes a reduction to the CAG trinucleotide repeat. Justify your prediction with evidence. Your response should include links to the sources of information gathered.
Answer:
If there were a new mutation to the HTT gene that causes a reduction to the CAG trinucleotide repeat, the allele frequency for Huntington's disease would decrease in South Africa. HD is caused by too many repeats of the CAG segment causing an abnormally long version of the huntintin protein which becomes deadly. so if the number of repeats is reduced then the person is more likely to not have Huntington's disease. If they do still develop Huntington's disease, it will be more likely to be adult onset and they will still have an opportunity to reproduce offspring which may carry the trait for reduced CAG.

Answer:
autotroph
Explanation:
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Plants are the most familiar type of autotroph, but there are many different kinds of autotrophic organisms.

Creates unique set of DNA.
Does Mitosis or meiosis? Or both
Answer:
Meiosis
Explanation:
Mitosis creates an identical set of daughter cells to the parent cells through asexual reproduction but meiosis creates a set of sex cells that are identical to each other but not to the parent cell and this is through sexual reproduction.

Two students compare and contrast the composition of a plant and animals cells. Several observations are made during the investigation. Which observation is incorrect?
Plant and animal cell contain cell membranes.
Plant cell are contained within cell walls, while animal cells are not.
Plant and animal cells contain a nucleus.
Plant cell do not have cytoplasm.
Answer:
I believe the correct answer would be D- Plant cell do not have cytoplasm
Explanation:
Plant and animal cells both have a cytoplasm so D is the incorrect statement.
Two students compare and contrast the composition of a plant and animals cells. Plant cell do not have cytoplasm this observation is incorrect. Therefore, option D is correct.
What is cytoplasm ?The liquid present inside a cell but not in the nucleus of the cell. In a cell, the cytoplasm is where the majority of chemical processes occur.
The gel-like substance that fills a cell is called cytoplasm. It serves as a catalyst for chemical reactions. It offers a foundation for other organelles to function within the cell. A cell's cytoplasm is where all the processes for cell division, growth, and replication take place.
Rudolf von Kölliker coined the phrase in 1863, first using it as a synonym for protoplasm, but over time it has come to refer to the cell's interior and extracellular organelles.
The first phase of cellular respiration, known as glycolysis, as well as mitosis and meiosis are just a few of the numerous cellular processes that take place in the cytoplasm.
Thus, option D is correct.
