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.

Neutrophil is the most likely identity of the observed leukocyte

<h3>What is Neutrophil ?</h3>

The most common type of granulocyte in humans are neutrophils, also known as neutrocytes or heterophils, which make up between 40% and 70% of all white blood cells. They are an essential part of the innate immune system, and they have different functions depending on the species.

The bone marrow-produced stem cells are differentiated into the neutrophil-killer and neutrophil-cager subpopulations. Due to their potential ability to access tissues that other cells or substances cannot, they have a limited lifespan and are very migratory. There are two different types of neutrophils: banded and segmented neutrophils (or bands). They belong to the same family of cells as basophils and eosinophils, which is known as PMNs.

If you drink a gallon or more of fresh water at a single sitting, what happens to your blood and then what might happen to the c
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

I hope this will help

Explanation:

When you drink too much water, your kidneys can't get rid of the excess water. The sodium content of your blood becomes diluted. This is called hyponatremia and it can be life-threatening.

Hyponatremia is a low sodium concentration in the blood. It is generally defined as a sodium concentration of less than 135 mmol/L (135 mEq/L), with severe hyponatremia being below 120 mEq/L. Symptoms can be absent, mild or severe. Mild symptoms include a decreased ability to think, headaches, nausea, and poor balance.

ANTONII [103]
A. Become cancer because in the process of mitosis (cell replication) idlf the cell replication does not work properly and keep going on and on it will begin creating mutations to help it replicate causing cancer to happen.
Ex: let's say you have a paper cut. Your blood cells must replicate in order to close that gap in your body. They begin replication but if they get out of control and begin creating mutations it will turn into cancer.
