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.

If methylene blue dye is added to a suspension of yeast cells, any living cells
GenaCL600 [577]

The correct option is that the higher the temperature of Y the more colorless cells it contains and is denoted as option B.

<h3>What is Temperature?</h3>

This us defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body and is dependent on thermal energy.

High temperature will denature yeast as a result of its rich protein content and increasing the temperature will therefore leads to the presence of more colorless cells in Y which are able to act on it.

Explain what Scientific Adam is and what identifying him means for science and for religion.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The Scientific Adam refers to the most recent common ancestor of all males, given that some scientists theorize that all currently living men share the same mutations in their Y chromosome, proving that one man fathered all of humanity.

Identifying the Scientific Adam would be very important for both science and religion, as it would provide a bridge between these two often collided fields. The Scientific Adam proves the existence of the biblical Adam.

In an attempt to identify an unknown metal, a scientist measures out 20. grams of the unknown material and brings it to its melt
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Option D, None of the above

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change the phase of metal from solid to liquid. While Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of energy required to change the phase of metal from liquid to gas.

Now, in the question the unknown metal melts from solid to liquid when 2100 J of energy is supplied.

None of the metal in the given set of options has  " metal Latent heat of fusion" equal to or near to 2100 J

Thus, option D is correct.
