Which statement explains why the structure of sickle cells differs from normal red blood cells?

Biology
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. the gene mutation affected protein synthesis

Explanation:

Basically, sickle cell results due to point mutation (change in one nucleotide) in DNA, which in turns affects the mRNA produced and finally the protein made from that mRNA is affected. I have listed a helpful image below which shows that the mutation actually results in formation of an undesired protein which causes sickle cell to occur.

What is considered the ultimate wonder of cells
Lapatulllka [165]
According to G.D Budhiraja in his book "The Natural Way of Healthy Aging," the ultimate wonder of cells is the egg cell. 

The egg cells is considered to be the ultimate wonder of cells because of its potential to form another human being. Once fertilized, the egg cell multiplies and grows, and "seems to know" just the right timing for certain processes to occur within the embryo or fetus. It seems to know when certain hormones should be produced, when it should implant in the uterus, and when the hands, legs, feet, hair, and other parts of the embryo and fetus should grow.

Which mutation is an example of an insertion mutation?
Burka [1]

Answer:

d. AAU CCG CAU UGG A​

Explanation:

A mutation is any change or alteration to the sequence of a gene. There are, however, different types of mutation depending on how it occurs in the gene. One of these types is INSERTION MUTATION as mentioned in this question. Insertion mutation is a type of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is added to the sequence, hence, changing the reading frame of the original sequence.

In this question, the original mRNA sequence is given as: AAU CCG CAU GGA.

An insertion mutation will cause nucleotide base(s) to be added to this sequence, which will be noticed by an increase in number of bases in the sequence.

The correct answer is: AAU CCG CAU UGG A​. In this mutated sequence, nucleotide "U" has been added to the sequence.
