Question

This passage describes the Huntington's disease trait in humans:Huntington's disease is a condition that causes the death of brain cells overtime. This loss of cells interferes with brain function and may lead to uncontrolledmovements, difficulty thinking, and changes in behavior.00In a group of humans, some individuals have Huntington's disease and others do not. In thisgroup, the gene for the Huntington's disease trait has two alleles. The allele for havingHuntington's disease (H) is dominant over the allele for not having Huntington's disease (h).SGEKenny is a human from this group. Kenny has the homozygous genotype hh for theHuntington's disease gene.Based on this information, what is Kenny's phenotype for the Huntington's disease trait?having Huntington's diseasenot having Huntington's diseaseSubmit

Answer 1

Kenny's phenotype ( detectable attributes) for the Huntington's disease trait is not having Huntington's disease because his genotype is homozygous genotype hh which is the recessive gene (not having Huntington's disease).
