Question

Explain how mutated DNA would produce proteins responsible for sickle cells rather than producing proteins responsible for normal red blood cells

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is a result of the point mutation, and in a change in just one nucleotide in a gene for hemoglobin. This mutation will cause the hemoglobin in the red blood cells to distort to a sickle shape when deoxygenated. "The sickle-shaped blood cells clog in the capillaries, cutting off circulation."
