Huntington disease is a rare condition in humans, caused by a dominant allele of a single gene, and that results in a slow but inexorable deterioration of the nervous system. The probability that a person with the Huntington genotype will express the phenotype varies with age. Assume that 50% of those inheriting the HD allele will express the symptoms by age 40. Janelle is a 35-year-old woman whose father has Huntington disease. She currently shows no symptoms. What is the probability that Janelle will show symptoms in five years

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
