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. This genetic defect is located in the HEXA gene, which is found on chromosome 15.
Tay-Sachs is a disease that is the result of a genetic mutation; it is fatal and affects the central nervous system. It is the result of the HEXA gene, located on chromosome 15; what occurs is that children have the deficiency of the enzyme, Hex X.here are two different kinds of this; infantile tay-sachs disease and late onset of tay-sachs disease. Infantile Tay-Sachs starts to show signs when the infant is around six months old; by age two, most children with this condition have seizures and decreasing mental state.
