les do not associate with each other. in sickle-cell disease, the change in a single amino acid results in mutant hemoglobin tetramers, which associate with each other and assemble into large fibers. based on this information alone, what can we conclude about the changes in the structure of sickle cell hemoglobin as compared to normal hemoglobin?

Established on the data, sickle cell hemoglobin displays altered primary structure and altered quaternary structure; the secondary and tertiary structures may or may not be altered. The sickle cell disease is a cluster of disorders that disturbs hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that transports oxygen to cells all over the body. A person with this disorder have uncharacteristic hemoglobin molecules named hemoglobin S which can interfere with red blood cells into a sickle or crescent shape.

In at least 200 words explain how DNA replicates
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: Replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin. Several enzymes and proteins then work together to prepare, or prime, the strands for duplication. Finally, a special enzyme called DNA polymerase organizes the assembly of the new DNA strands. The following description of this three-stage process applies generally to all cells, but specific variations within the process may occur depending on organism and cell type.

Which process connects glycolysis and the citric acid cycle?What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Glycolysis and the TCA cycle are linked by the linking reaction catalysed by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Pyruvic acid produced at the end of glycolysis is transported to the matrix of mitochondria, where it undergoes oxidative decarboxylation to produce acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA enters the TCA cycle.
