When a mutated gene makes a protein that doesn't function properly, it will result in genetic diseases and will express disease symptoms in the individual. An example is sickle cell anemia. Hemoglobin is a vital protein used by red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body. When a mutated gene makes hemoglobin that is altered and does not function properly, it can cause anemia (a condition in which an individual has low healthy red blood cells).

What is the first stage of a thunderstorm?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Cumulus stage

Explanation:

Most electrical storms form from stages, their first stage is cumulus:

In this stage, the sun warms the surface of the earth, this makes the heat from the surface warm the nearby air, as the hot air is lighter than the cool it begins to rise. If the air is humid, then the hot air condenses into a culumus cloud. The cloud will continue to grow as long as the hot air continues to rise.
