Question

2. Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive, degenerative condition causing uncontrolled movements, loss of intellectual faculties, and emotional disturbance. HD symptoms develop in middle age. HD is caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene (HTT) located on chromosome 4. It is a dominant disease. a. What kind of macromolecule is HTT (the huntingtin gene)? b. What are the monomers that make up the macromolecule you listed in part a? c. What are the major components that make up the basic structure of the monomers you listed in part b? d. The gene for huntingtin (HTT) is 171,268 nucleotides long; the HTT mRNA that is translated in the cytoplasm is 13481nucleotides long; and the huntingtin protein is 3142 amino acids long. List the reasons why ene int

Explanation / Answer

a) Answer: The huntingtin gene contains the macromolecule of proteins, lipids, polysaccharides or nucleic acids.

b) Answer: The monomers that make up the macromolecule are gas phase monomer ion.

c) Answer: Major component that makes up the stucture of monomer are that they are usually made up of helix turn coil and also the helix extended coil and the monomers which are usually elongated are arranged in a antiparallel manner.
