Telechelic polymer. A telechelic polymer or oligomer is a prepolymer capable of entering into further polymerization or other reactions through its reactive end-groups. It can be used for example to synthesize block copolymers. By definition, a telechelic polymer is a di-end-functional polymer where both ends possess the same functionality. Where the chain-ends of the polymer are not of the same functionality they are termed di-end-functional polymers.
The cause of Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic defect (mutation) that is passed from parent to child. This genetic defect is located in the HEXA gene, which is found on chromosome 15.The HEXA gene makes part of an enzyme called beta-hexosaminidase A, which plays a critical role in the nervous system.he cause of Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic defect (mutation) that is passed from parent to child.

In my cell biology class we were talking about Tay Sachâs disease. This disease actually benefits its victim by giving it resistance to tuberculosis. Its has to do with a lysosomal enzyme Î²-hexosaminidase. Tay Sachs disease Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a genetic mutation on the HEXA gene on the number 15 chromosome.It affects primarily the European Jewish population. I thought we could compare this disease relationship with that of the gene mutation in the 10% of Europeansâ immunity to HIV.n my cell biology class we were talking about Tay Sachâs disease.
