Answer:
a) properties of the molecule as a result of abnormal interactions between adjacent hemoglobin molecules
Explanation:
In sickle cell disease, for example, a nonpolar amino acid (valine) replaces a polar amino acid (glutamate). This substitution of amino acids reduces the hemoglobin’s water solubility. The mutated hemoglobin molecules form long, stiff and rod-like crystals inside red blood cells which are otherwise not formed by normal hemoglobin molecules.
These abnormal crystals of hemoglobin cause the deformation of RBCs making them sickle-shaped that cannot properly squeeze through narrow blood vessels. Therefore, the substitution of single amino acid results in abnormal interaction of two or more hemoglobin molecules that are not exhibited by normal hemoglobin molecules.
That field belongs to Biology and is called Genetics.
Genetics, as the name suggests, studies the genes, and how the information contained in these are passed to offspring and how these traits can vary.

Anaerobic cellular respiration has three stages. The first stage is called glycosis where glucose is split into two pyruvate molecules.
