Sickling occurs in deoxyhemoglobin S but not in oxyhemoglobin S. Oxyhemoglobin has a small, hydrophobic pocket in a β chain regi

on located in the interior of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin, however, this pocket is located on the surface of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin S, Val 6 interacts with this surface pocket, leading to aggregation of HbS. Choose two amino acids that would be reasonable canidates for the pocket-Val 6 interaction.
(A) phenylalanine
(B) leucine
(C) serine
(D) arginine
(E) glutamate

Answer:

A polypeptide in a wild type microbe contains the sequence Leu-Pro-Tyr-Ser-Pro. A phenotypic variant of the species has the pept
Katen [24]

Answer:

The mentioned case is an illustration of the missense mutation. A missense mutation is a kind of nonsynonymous substitution, that is, it is a mutation in which a variation in a solitary nucleotide leads to the formation of a codon, which encrypts for a distinct kind of amino acid.  

When a missense mutation takes place within a DNA, a modification in one of the RNA codon sequences results at the time of transcription. This change in codon will ultimately result in the formation of a different amino acid, which gets presented within a protein at the time of translation. Like in the given case, a change in codon resulted in the substitution of the amino acid tyrosine with an amino acid cysteine.

3. How would you differentiate between natural selection and artificial selection<br>​
slava [35]

Answer:

Natural selection is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution while Artificial selection is Selective breeding is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together.
