People with two copies of the sickle cell gene have the disease. People who carry only one copy of the sickle cell gene do not have the disease, but may pass the gene on to their children. Abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, causes sickle cell disease (SCD). The problem in hemoglobin S is caused by a small defect in the gene that directs the production of the beta globin part of hemoglobin. This small defect in the beta globin gene causes a problem in the beta globin part of hemoglobin, changing the way that hemoglobin works.
Answer:
1) The statement is false
2) Option A) deoxyribose, phosphate, and a nitrogenous base
Explanation:
1) In semi-conservative DNA replication:
- a parent double-stranded DNA splits in two.
- Each strand is then read by the enzyme, DNA polymerase, to ensure accurate synthesis of a new daughter strand
- the newly synthesized strand contains nucleotides that are complimentary to free nucleotides present in the parent strand.
Thus, because the parent strand is retained in the newly synthesized DNA, DNA replication is described as semi-conservative
2) DNA consists of several repeating units of polydeoxynucleotides where each is made up of a nitrogenous base (Adenine, thymine, cytosine or guanine) linked to
deoxyribose sugar by an N-glycosidic linkage, and then the sugar linked to a phosphate group by phosphoester bond.
Answer:
both A and B
Explanation:
Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element's mass number.
The two tectonic plates involved are the Pacific plate, on which the Pacific Ocean resides, and a portion of the North American plate, on which parts of Japan sit.
The DNA molecule is composed of two strands with the help of hydrogen bonds which is doubl helix <span> At each end of the double helix, one strand is 5' and the other is 3'.the two strands are anti parallel so the correct option is
</span> They are oriented in opposite directions
