Mutagens such as pollutants and uv light can cause mutations in dna

Biology
1 answer:
Darina [25.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<u><em>They take nutrients needed by healthy cells, and as they grow they interfere with the function of normal cells and organs.</em></u>

Explanation:

Many mutations can lead to the formation of cancer. Cancer can be described as an abnormal type of cell division of the cells of the body. As cancer cells are the cells of the body dividing abnormally, the immune cells fail to fight them. These cells keep on dividing and also disturb the functioning of the neighbouring cells and tissues. They even take up most of the nutrients required by normal body cells hence, being very toxic for the normal cells.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1) A, C and D

2) D

Explanation:

The normal hemoglobin is made up of heme and globin. The protein, globin is in turn made up of four polypeptide chains which include two alpha and two beta chains.

The gene gene responsible for the creation of the beta globin chain is located on the short arm of chromosome eleven. It is called the HBB gene. Many mutations occur on the HBB gene and a mutation on this gene produces abnormal hemoglobin like HBS, hbc, and hbe. HBs causes sickle cell anemia.

In sickle cell anemia, there is an alteration of the genetic code, leading to the substitution of a single amino acid where glutamic acid is replaced by valine in the sixth position of the beta chain.

In the mRNA, the change converts a glutamic acid codon(GAG or GAA) to a valine codon(GUA, GUC, GUU or GUG).

Sickle cell anemia is caused by a transversion that leads to a missense mutation.
