1) Sickle cell disease causes a change in the shape of hemoglobin. This condition originates with a mutation. Describe the mutation that
causes the change in hemoglobin.
A)
A point mutation caused uracil to be produced rather
than adenine.
B)
A point mutation changes the amino acid that should
be produced to another.
C)
One nucleotide is lost and the remaining bases shift
to alter the amino acid produced.
D)
When exposed to a mutagen, a mutant protein, rather

2) There is a change in the shape of the hemoglobin due to the sickle cell
mutation Additionally, sickle cell disease is a genetic disease: people
