Out of the following given choices;

a.            Valine instead of glutamic acid in the sixth position

b.            Glutamic acid replacing valine in the first position

c.             Extensive amino acid substitutions

d.            Trinucleotide repeats

e.            Frameshift substitutions

The answer is A. this is caused by a mutation in the beta thalassemia genes on one of the 46 human chromosomes (chromosome #11) of the individual. The alpha subunit is normal in people with sickle cell disease. When sickle hemoglobin releases oxygen in the peripheral tissues, the molecules tend to stick together and form long chains or polymers. These rigid polymers distort the cell and cause it to bend out of shape from the normative disc shape.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The main  function of the plasma membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. Made of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules it also regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells. Plasma membranes must be very flexible in order to allow certain cells, such as red blood cells and white blood cells, to change shape as they pass through narrow capillaries. Membrane receptors provide extracellular attachment sites for effectors like hormones and growth factors, which then trigger intracellular responses. Some viruses, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), can intercept  these receptors to get into the cells, causing infections.

He peppered moth provides a well-known example of natural selection. the light-colored form of the moth was predominant in engla
mixas84 [53]
The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.
