Answer:Could You show the answer choices?
Explanation:
Answer: All the statements of the question are correct.
Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by formation of defective hemoglobin protein, which results in sickle shaped RBC ( red blood cell).
This disease is caused by mutation in the gene that is responsible for the protein hemoglobin ( which transport oxygen throughout body).
It is inherited by the offspring when both the mutated copy of genes ( one from each parent) are passed to him.
Carriers of the disease exhibit increased resistance to malarial parasites by controlling the level of free haem in the blood ( through enzyme heme oxygenase that produces a toxic carbon monoxide gas). The resistance thus developed, is a mutation.
Therefore, all the statements in the given question are correct.
Answer:
A mutation in the DNA sequence of the gene for brown fur
Explanation:
The mutations are capable of changing the encoded protein product, in this case the gene that encodes for the fur color pigment. This mutation may have occurred during mitosis or meiosis divisions.
If it is a spontaneous mutation that occurred in the germinal line (meiosis) and confers an adaptive advantage, it will increase their frequency in the population.
You are correct i did this before hope this helps
