Answer:

Disruption in the primary and quaternary structure.

Explanation:

The sickle cell anemia may be defined as the change in the amino acid at sixth position. Valine is present instead of glutamic acid in beta chain due to the point mutation in the nucleotide sequence.

The mutation causes the association of tetramers in the large fibers, this indicates that the quaternary structure of protein has been altered. This alteration must have occur due to the change in the amino acid sequence in the primary structure of the protein. Secondary or tertiary structure might or might not be altered in this mutation.

Thus, the correct answer is the alteration in the primary and quaternary structure.

Solve the 3 following questions (btw this isn’t biology, my questions are Earth Science)
Tanzania [10]

"Many processes work together to keep Earth's water moving in a cycle. There are five processes at work in the hydrologic cycle: condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and evapotranspiration. These occur simultaneously and, except for precipitation, continuously."

"The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration."

"The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation. Also, the cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere is a significant aspect of the weather patterns on Earth."
