Answer:

Explanation:

When you have a genetic disease, where one allele is dominant over the other, then there are three types of genotypes you can have - DD homozygous dominant (assuming the disease is recessive, this person would be normal); Dd - heterozygous (this person would be normal but will be able to pass on the disease trait to their offspring, and we call that a carrier) and dd - homozygous recessive, which would be the person that has the disease.

What could happen if a mutation in a gene caused a hydrophobic amino acid in a polypeptide to be replaced by a hydrophilic amino
Marysya12 [62]

The new hydrophilic amino acid would not form the same interactions with hydrophobic R groups. As a consequence,   protein's 3D structure would likely be affected.

Different types of amino acids have different properties and thus form different interactions. For example, hydrophobic amino acids (water-repelent) such as alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, cysteine and methionine. participate in van der Waals type of interactions. They often form the hydrophobic core of the protein which doesn’t interact with water surrounding.

On the other hand, hydrophilic amino acids (arginine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartat..) are polar, can dissolve in the water and can join the hydrogen bond network.
