During replication a trinucleotide repeat sequence can either expand or contract; if expanded beyond a critical copy number, gene function is compromised. Triplet repeat expansion is now recognized as a cause of several human diseases and as a mechanism of inheritance to explain the phenomenon of anticipation. 2, record 1, English, - triplet%20repeat%20expansion

The War of the Spanish Succession(1701-1714) was a major European conflict that arose in 1701 after the death of the last Spanish Habsburg king, Charles II. Charles had bequeathed all of his possessions to Philip, duc d’Anjou-a grandson of the French King Louis XIV-who thereby became Philip V of Spain. The war began slowly, as the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I fought to protect his own dynasty's claim to the Spanish inheritance. As Louis XIV began to expand his territories more aggressively, however, other European nations(chiefly England and the Dutch Republic) entered on the Holy Roman Empire's side to check French expansion(and, in the English case, to safeguard the Protestant succession). Other states joined the coalition opposing France and Spain in an attempt to acquire new territories, or to protect existing dominions. The war was fought not only in Europe, but also in north America, where the conflict became known to the English colonists as Queen Anne's War. 1, record 2, English, - War%20of%20the%20Spanish%20Succession

La guerre de Succession d'Espagne a opposé de 1701 à 1714 la France et l'Espagne et, à travers lui, la domination en Europe. Dernière grande guerre de Louis XIV, elle a permis à la France d'installer un monarque français à Madrid. Rappelons que, de nos jours, cette dynastie rêgne toujours à Madrid. 2, record 2, French, - guerre%20de%20Succession%20d%27Espagne
