The mutagens that result in cancer damage DNA by (b) weakening the DNA strand or interfering with base pairing. This mutagens are called carcinogens, if they cause a damage to <span>a gene that makes a </span>DNA<span> repair protein, it means that a cell will have less ability to repair itself, and ,as a result, this will lead to formation of cancer.</span>

Glutamic acid and valine are two amino acids with different molecular structures. (Glutamic acid is a strongly hydrophilic molec
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The switch from glutamic acid to valine in position 6 of hemoglobin (HB) forms the basis of sickle cell anemia disease pathology.

Valine is hydrophobic and it's chain is shorter than glutamic acid. The lack of the carboxylic acid and shortness of valine will result in loss of the ionic interactions formed between the glutamic acid's carboxylic group and other amino acids. A hydrophobic cavity will form in the beta sheet of HB due to the short and hydrophobic structure of valine. For these reasons, the HB molecule will be less stable and insoluble in water. The insolubility is thought to be caused by fibril formation between the valine interacting with hydrophobic pocket residues of the adjacent HB molecule.  This would in turn affect binding of oxygen to HB.

What is the basic unit of structure and function in protists and monerans?
Alex787 [66]
I believe that the basic unit of structure and function in protists and monerans is the cell. This is because cells are basic unit of structure and function of all living things. A  cell is the smallest unit of life, it is the basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed.
