Biology
1 answer:
Likurg_2 [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A DNA mutation causes sickle-cell anemia.

Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is caused by a single code letter change in the DNA. This in turn alters one of the amino acids in the hemoglobin protein. Valine sits in the position where glutamic acid should be. The valine makes the hemoglobin molecules stick together, forming long fibers that distort the shape of the red blood cells, and this brings on an attack.

Evolution acts upon the population of organisms and not on each individual organism
Marina86 [1]

Evolution can be defined as the process of changes in the genetic pool of a population over time. The process of natural selection operates the evolution of any population. Evolution acts upon a whole population instead upon on single individual. A single individual doesn't evolve, instead ratios of the genetic types within a population changes when it is evolving, and eventually, complete evolution occurs.

Hence, the given answer is 'true'.
