Sickle-cell anemia results from a point mutation in the HBB gene. The mutation results in the replacement of an amino acid that

Answer: protein structure

Explanation:

In Sickle-cell anemia, the gene sequence of hemoglobin is changed in its sixth position due to the substitution of glutamate with valine.

So, since glutamate, an amino acid soluble in water due to its hydrophilic side chain is substituted with valine, an amino acid that has a hydrophobic side chain insoluble in water or bloodstream; the resulting hemoglobin protein is altered in structure (sickle shaped) and unable to bind and transport oxygen efficiently to the various body parts.

Describe the conditions needed in order for any enzyme to function properly.
svetoff [14.1K]
Two main factors that must be taken in consideration are temperature and the pH level.
The temperature shouldn’t be too low as it slows down the rate of reaction, meaning that the enzyme will work slower, but also not too high as it will cause the enzyme to denature (stops working as it should).
The pH level is pretty much the same, shouldn’t be not too low nor too high.

Two genes, A and B, are located 30 map units apart. A mating between an individual homozygous dominant for both traits and one h
Westkost [7]

Answer:

35%

Explanation:

If two genes are 30 map units apart, 30% of the produced gametes will be recombinant.

A mating between an individual homozygous dominant for both traits (AB/AB) and one homozygous recessive for both traits (ab/ab) is conducted.

The F1 will be heterozygous for both genes: AB/ab.

The F1 progeny is then test-crossed to a homozygous recessive individual:

<h3>AB/ab X ab/ab</h3>

<u>The possible offspring will be:</u>

  • Parental (70%): AB/ab and ab/ab
  • Recombinant (30%): Ab/ab and aB/ab

Since 30% of all the gametes produced by the F1 individual will be recombinant, 70% will be parental. As there are two types of parental gametes, each of them will have a frequency of 35%.

<u>The offspring that will have a dominant phenotype for both traits has the genotype AB/ab with a proportion of 35%.</u>
