Answer:

The correct answer is C. An oxygen

Explanation:

Amino acid is a compound which serves as the building block or proteins. They are the smallest and simplest unit of protein. They contain carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and oxygen.  

Each amino acid has a central carbon atom which is designated as alpha carbon which is attached with a carbonyl functional group, an amino-functional group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain(R group). So oxygen is not bound directly with the central carbon atom.

The R group is different in different amino acid. Glycine is the simplest amino acid and it has H in place of the R group.

What type of mutation has occurred in the dna of people with sickle cell anemia? (look back, if you need to, to see what causes
strojnjashka [21]
People with two copies of the sickle cell gene have the disease. People who carry only one copy of the sickle cell gene do not have the disease, but may pass the gene on to their children. Abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, causes sickle cell disease (SCD). The problem in hemoglobin S is caused by a small defect in the gene that directs the production of the beta globin part of hemoglobin. This small defect in the beta globin gene causes a problem in the beta globin part of hemoglobin, changing the way that hemoglobin works.
