Answer:

The correct answer is D a change to one amino acid in a protein may cause a significant change in the phenotype.

Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is caused by the replacement of 6th amino acid in the beta chain of hemoglobin that is glutamic acid by valine.

   glutamic acid is a hydrophilic amino acid that is being replaced by a hydrophobic amino acid known as valine.

   As a result the red blood cells  appear as insoluble aggregates which which ultimately result in the sickling of Red blood cells.That"s why this disease is named as sickle cell anemia.

"what is the direct cause of death for the aquatic animals during eutrophication"
AnnZ [28]
A LOSS OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN IN THE WATER is the primary and direct cause of death of aquatic animals during eutrophication or what is also known as hypertrophication. This is the enrichment of a water body with excessive chemical nutrients which can be a problem in marine habitats, as it can cause algal blooms. With this is the occurrence of dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.

barxatty [35]
The only correct answer in this case is B - a stroke.

None of the other answers could be counted as correct here. 

While A - a heart attack is conceptualy similar, when we're talking about a heart attack, we're talking about not enough oxygen that gets delivered to the heart - because something is blocking it. 

C - hypertension on the other hand means someone has a higher blood pressure than is usual for a regular human being, which puts more strain on his cardiovascualr system. 

and D - atherosclerosis doesn't come even close to be correct :)
