g in sickle cell anemia, there is a mutation in the beta subunit of hemoglobin where a glutamic acid is replaced with valine. How would that change affect the molecule

Answer and explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is a type of anemia that occurs because of a mutation in the HBB gene, which codifies for the beta subunit of hemoglobin, producing an abnormal beta-globin called Hemoglobin S o HbS. This anomalous beta subunit is a product of the replacement of the amino acid glutamic acid by the amino acid valine at position 6, resulting in a beta-globin that forms a long and rigid molecule turning red blood cells shape into a sickle one, condemning erythrocytes to a premature death (which will cause the anemia). Another complication patients with sickle cell anemia can have is the blocking of blood vessels because of the abnormal and rigid shape of their red blood cells.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
