Buffers maintain a pretty stable pH level, resisting any large changes. When introduced to a base, it will act as an acid to counteract it, and vice versa.
Well everything is made of complex proteins. There isn't one single organism just comprised of proteins. For example keratin is a protein that is made when RNA passes through a ribosome. Now this protein may be used in different functions, one is to strengthen hair/nails. To simplify: anything living that is eukaryotic. (multi_cellular organisms bigger than bacteria and viruses.)
The right answer is D.
Gene therapy is a method of introducing nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) into the cells of an organism to correct an abnormality, such as a mutation, causing a pathology.
It is often a question of bringing a normal and functional gene (transgene) into a cell where the present gene is altered.
Another method can bring RNA capable of partially regulating or blocking the expression of an altered gene.
Answer:
1=T
2=F(in the mitochondria)
3=F (i am not sure about this one.)

Answer:
The DNA mutation causes a change in the amino acid sequence for hemoglobin, which causes a change in the shape of red blood cells.
Explanation:
Sickle cell anemia is one of a group of disorders known as sickle cell disease. Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body.
Normally, the flexible, round red blood cells move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, the red blood are shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These rigid, sticky cells can get stuck in small blood vessels, which can slow or block blood flow and oxygen to parts of the body.
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene that tells your body to make the iron-rich compound that makes blood red and enables red blood cells to carry oxygen from your lungs throughout your body (hemoglobin). In sickle cell anemia, the abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to become rigid, sticky and misshapen.
The sickle cell mutation reflects a single change in the amino acid building blocks of the oxygen-transport protein, hemoglobin. This protein, which is the component that gives red cells their color, has two subunits. The alpha subunit is normal in people with sickle cell disease. The beta subunit has the amino acid valine at position 6 instead of the glutamic acid that is normally present. The alteration is the basis of all the problems that occur in people with sickle cell disease.
