Hemoglobin is a protein in the blood that is made of 4 polypeptide chains. Two alpha chains are composed of 141 amino acids each

Two beta chains are 146 amino acids long. There a total of 574 amino acids in a hemoglobin molecule.
People with sickle cell anemia have one incorrect amino acid in their beta chain. The first seven amino acids in the beta chain for hemoglobin A (normal) and hemoglobin S (sickle cell) are listed below. Which amino acid is different in hemoglobin S?

Hemoglobin A: valine histidine leucine threonine proline glutamine glutamine

Hemoglobin S: valine histidine leucine threonine proline valine glutamine

Why does the body produce hemoglobin S instead of hemoglobin A?

Amino acid differs at the glutamine, which is converted to valine in hemoglobin S. the body produced hemoglobin S due to a point mutation in the DNA sequence which results in different amino acid to be formed during translation of DNA sequence codons.

What is an observation? What do you use to make an observation?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: we can make observations directly by seeing, feeling, hearing, and smelling, but we can also extend and refine our basic senses with tools: thermometers, microscopes, telescopes, radar, radiation sensors, X-ray crystallography, mass spectroscopy, etc. And these tools do a better job of observing than we can!

Mrac [35]

Answer;

The mismatched pair is;

C) receptor proteins — bind with enzymes

Explanation;

- A receptor protein is a protein molecule that receives chemical signals from outside a cell. When such chemical signals bind to a receptor, they cause some form of cellular/tissue response, e.g. a change in the electrical activity of a cell.

-They are generally trans-membrane proteins, which bind to signaling molecules outside the cell and subsequently transmit the signal through a sequence of molecular switches to internal signaling pathways. There are two types of receptors: internal receptors and cell-surface receptors.
