Use the following information to answer the next two questions. Sickle cell anemia is a disease that is caused by a mutation in the gene that produces haemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen in red blood cells. The HbA allele produces normal hemoglobin and the HbS allele produces haemoglobin that sticks together and causes red blood cells to sickle. Heterozygous individuals (HbAHbS) produce both normal and "sickle" hemoglobin so the HbA and HbS alleles are codominant. Heterozygotes do not develop sickle cell...

If individuals with the sickle-cell hemoglobin are selected against, how is it that the mutated hemoglobin gene persists in the human population? Choose the best answer. Individuals with sickle-cell disease (recessive homozygous) are best able to fight off malaria, so the gene persists in malarious areas. The monkey bread tree is not sensitive to temperature. When a non-sickle cell individual (dominant homozygous) mates with an individual with sickle-cell disease (recessive homozygous) the produce heterozygotes and that is how the mutated...

Sickle-cell Anemia Study Sickle-cell anemia or Sickle-cell disease, is a hereditary disorder. characterized by aryabnormality in the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecule in erythrocytes. Sickle-cell conditions have an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance from parents. The sickle cell defect is a mutation of a single nucleotide of the hemoglobin B gene, which results in glutamic acid being substituted by a different amino acid at position 6. Hemoglobin with this mutation is referred to as Hbs, as opposed to the normal hemoglobin HbA....

1. Explain how some patients who are homozygous for the sickle-cell allele do not develop sickle-cell crisis or other symptoms of the disease. Because of a mutation to a regulatory gene, a variant form of the beta subunit is expressed that does not cause sickling of hemoglobin protein. Because of a defective regulatory gene, fetal hemoglobin is expressed in adulthood which compensates for defective adult hemoglobin. Because of an additional mutation to the gene for the beta subunit of hemoglobin,...

1. Which of the following is FALSE? A. If a genetic disease reduces fertility and the allele that causes the disease offers no other advantage, the allele will likely eventually disappear, due to natural selection. B. Natural selection does not favor individuals who are homozygous for the sickle-cell allele, because these individuals typically die before they are old enough to reproduce. C. Individuals who are heterozygous HbA/HbS are protected from malaria, and this is why sickle-ce disease persists in wetter,...
