Answer 1

Answer #1

Alzheimer disease is caused due to protein aggregation of beta-amyloid proteins. Beta-amyloid proteins aggregate and form plaque which disrupt the normal functioning of neurons.

Alpha-synuclein plays a part in Parkinson disease.

aggregation of beta-synuclein leads to neurodegeneration.

Tau protein helps in the cytoskelton of neurons.

So correct answer is option A.

5. Sickle-cell disease is an interesting genetic disease. Normal homozygous individuals (SS) have normal blood cells that are easily infected with the malarial parasite. Thus, many of these individuals become very ill from the parasite and many die. Individuals homozygous for the sickle-cell trait (ss) have red blood cells that readily collapse when deoxygenated. Although malaria cannot grow in these red blood cells, individuals often die because of the genetic defect. However, individuals with the heterozygous condition (Ss) have some...
