A disaccharide is produced by joining 2 monosaccharide (single sugar) units. For the formation of maltose, <span>2 glucose molecules are combined using a condensation reaction, with the removal of water.

alpha-D-glucose + </span>alpha-D-glucose = Maltose + H2O

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer:

The maltose equation is a condensation equation and is expressed by the formula: alpha-D-glucose + alpha-D-glucose = Maltose + H2O

Explanation:

Maltose is a carbohydrate, an organic molecule made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Maltose is a disaccharide, that is, formed by two molecules of simple glycids (glucose) joined by an acetal bond. This specific bond is called α-1,4'-glycosidic bond. The linkage occurs between C-1 of one sugar subunit and C-4 of the other.

The glucose formation equation is expressed by the formula: alpha-D-glucose + alpha-D-glucose = Maltose + H2O. This is a condensation equation characterized by the release of water in addition to the final product.

A change in DNA resulting in an incorrect protein is the problem in sickle cell disease. Is this normally the problem in genetic
Over [174]

Answer:

Sickle cell disease in an autosomal recessive inherited disease which is caused by the mutation in the HBB (hemoglobin-β gene) gene present on the chromosome no. 11. In sickle cell, the red blood cells become sickle shape due to the abnormal shape of hemoglobin present in it.

These sickle cells are known to form a blockage in the blood vessels thereby causing damage to the vital organs. Human spleen constantly destroys sickle cells because they get trapped in it which causes a disease called sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell anemia is normally the problem in genetic disease which is inherited from the parents to children. When both the DNA strand has a mutation in their HBB gene then only this disease will affect the individual.

Alona [7]
The kelvin is the primary unit of temperature measurement in the physical sciences, but is often used in conjunction with the degree Celsius, which has the same magnitude. The definition implies that absolute zero (0 K) is equivalent to −273.15 °C (−459.67 °F).
