Answer:

1. The difference between the normal hemoglobin protein DNA sequence and the sickle cell hemoglobin DNA sequence is a base to base shift, in this case adenine (GAG) to thymine (GTG).

2. The difference affects the amino acid sequence of the protein by replacing glutamic acid (Glu) with valine (Val).

Explanation:

In sickle cell anemia, a change in the DNA nucleotide sequence is observed, where adenine is substituted by thymine, whose expression is the change in the amino acid sequence of globine β, incorporating valine instead of glutamic acid. This represents a molecular mutation - point mutation - by subtitution, which corresponds to missense mutation.

<u>Normal hemoglobin protein in a RBC</u>

DNA                 CTG ACT CCT GAG GAG AAG TCT

Amino acids     Leu  Thr   Pro   Glu   Glu   Lys   Ser

<u>Sickle cell hemoglobin protein in a RBC</u>

DNA                 CTG ACT CCT <em>GTG</em> GAG AAG TCT

Amino acids     Leu  Thr   Pro   <em>Val</em>   Glu   Lys   Ser

When GAG is transcribed to mRNA, the CUC codon is obtained, which codes for glutamic acid. Thymine substitution causes the DNA sequence to change to GTG, which is transcribed as CAC, the codon that encodes the amino acid valine. The <u>change from glutamic acid to valine in β-globin causes an altered hemoglobin, giving the abnormal erythrocytes observed in sickle cell disease</u>.

Where do bile and pancreatic enzymes enter the small intestine?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The correct answer is duodenum

Explanation:

Bile is a digestive enzyme that is secreted by the liver which is temporarily stored in the gall bladder and pancreatic enzyme is released by the pancreas. The bile is secreted to the small intestine through the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct joins the common bile duct just before ampulla of Vater which opens in the first intestinal portion which is duodenum.

So bile and pancreatic enzymes enters the duodenum region of the small intestine and after getting in the small intestine it digests the complex macromolecules into simpler and smaller form which can be absorbed through the intestinal epithelium.

Trava [24]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The barrel of a gun is also known as bore. The barrel is the metal tube which the bullet is fired and the bore is the inside of the barrel. It is the one closest to the barrel so it must be the answer.
