Sickle cell anemia is an example of a genetic disease caused by a point mutation. To answer this question look at the information in chapter 3 of the OpenStax book. If you use another resource that is fine but you will need to share the link. a. Describe the specific change in the nucleotide sequence sequence from normal to mutated hemoglobin. b. Describe the specific change in the amino acid sequence from normal to mutated hemoglobin.

Determine which statements could be used as evidence to support the argument that "DNA influences the proteins that are made" and which statements are just facts. [Select all that apply.] The HBB gene that makes beta-globin has several abnormal alleles, including HbS, HbC, and HbE. Sickle cell disease has been successfully treated using bone marrow transplantation in children and adults. The symptoms of sickle cell anemia may not appear in individuals who only carry one HbS allele, but are always apparent when both alleles are HbS. If oxygen is removed from red blood cells made by two HbS alleles, the cell will form a sickle shape.

Please answer the following questions using numbers and not text. For example, if you think the answer is 24, write 24 and not twenty-four. If you think the answer is 24 ATP, write only the number 24. As a microbiology technician, your job is to characterize a novel bacterial strain isolated from insects. Phenotypically, you have discovered that the new bacterial strain can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen. After genome sequencing and biochemical characterization, you know that your new organism is capable of making all of the enzymes necessary for glycolysis and the TCA cycle, and that it has an electron transport chain. Answer the following questions based on the growth of your organism on minimal media plates containing only acetate as a carbon and energy source. Acetate is transported across the membrane at the cost of 3 ATP per molecule.  Each question should be answered based on the metabolism of one molecule of acetate. If you come up with a negative value, indicate an…

In three sentences describe how Sanger sequencing works

Line A below shows the peptide synthesized after transcription and translation of a piece of DNA.  Line B shows the peptide synthesized after a mutation in this piece of DNA. proline- arginine - aspartic acid - lysine - glycine proline - glutamine - aspartic acid - lysine — glycine The type of change in the DNA most likely to be responsible for the difference between the peptides is:   a. A frame-shift mutation d. A base deletion b. A base insertion e. A silent mutation f. A base substitution

Please use information from the text below and your knowledge of biology to answer the final two (2) questions. In 2003, as a result of the Human Genome Project, the complete sequence of all the bases in human DNA was released to the public. Although knowing the entire sequence of bases has proven valuable, scientists are currently working to map genes. Mapping genes involves determining the exact location of each gene. Since much of human DNA does not code for a protein, it is challenging to figure out which segments are actual genes. Often, scientists look at the percent composition of bases in a segment of DNA. If the segment of DNA has a large percentage of C and G bases (together over 50%), it is likely that it is a gene and codes for a protein.   9. A scientist analyzed the bases in a segment of DNA from a human skin cell to determine if it codes for a protein. The base A (Adenine) is 11% of the bases in this segment of DNA. Calculate the percentage of bases that would be C…
