Answer:

Point mutation is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Sickle cell disorder is a genetic disorder that is caused because of point mutation.

Due to point mutation protein lose their function which results in sickle cell disease.

The mutation in the Hemoglobin Subunit Beta gene in Sickle cell diseases affects the hemoglobin and the red blood cells molecules that transfer oxygen to the cells.

Sickle cell diseases can lead to stroke, organ damage,blindness, priapism,hypertension, acute chest problems.

The question is incorrect as it does not have the options which are:

A) point

B) frameshift

C) nonsense

D) nondisjunction

E) both B and D

Answer:

Point mutation

Explanation:

Sickle cell disease refers to the disease which is caused by the change in the shape of the oxygen delivering cell in the blood called the red blood cells.

The shape of the red blood cells becomes crescent of sickle due to the distortion in the shape of the hemoglobin molecule which binds oxygen.  The distortion in the shape of the hemoglobin molecule is genetically controlled and occurs when the person possesses both the copies of the allele which changes the shape.

The mutated gene changes the shape of the hemoglobin by changing the glutamic acid amino acid by valine at the 6th position. Since the mutation changes the amino acid at only one position that is only 6th position therefore it is considered a point mutation.

Thus, a point mutation is correct.

1.each of several hierarchical levels in an ecosystem, comprising organisms that share the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship to the primary sources of energy.

A scavenger is an organism that mostly consumes decaying biomass, such as meat or rotting plant material. Many scavengers are a type of carnivore, which is an organism that eats meat. While most carnivores hunt and kill their prey, scavengers usually consume animals that have either died of natural causes or been killed by another carnivore.

Scavengers are a part of the food web, a description of which organisms eat which other organisms in the wild. Organisms in the food web are grouped into trophic, or nutritional, levels. There are three trophic levels. Autotrophs, organisms that produce their own food, are the first trophic level. These include plants and algae. Herbivores, or organisms that consume plants and other autotrophs, are the second trophic level. Scavengers, other carnivores, and omnivores, organisms that consume both plants and animals, are the third trophic level.

Nitrogen is converted from atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into usable forms, such as NO2-, in a process known as fixation. The majority of nitrogen is fixed by bacteria, most of which are symbiotic with plants. Recently fixed ammonia is then converted to biologically useful forms by specialized bacteria.

Facilitated diffusion does not use cellular energy.

Since the transportation of molecules occurs through the concentration gradient, it doesn’t use cellular energy for transportation of molecules.
