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.

Organisms use a diversity of methods to obtain proper nutrition.
solniwko [45]

The ileum has <span>plicae circulares</span>, villi and microvilli, that are folds and projections of the mucosa layer of the ileum, that increase the surface area of food absorption.  The mucosa and the submucosa of the stomach have inner folds called rugae that increase the surface areas in which food is digested by enzymes.

Plants have root hairs in their tap roots that also increase the surface area for which they absorb water and nutrient from the soil. Fibrous roots have a mesh-like a network that also increases the surface area for increased absorption.
