URGENT! Will mark Brainliest if correct! No fake answers please! 9. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease that affects the red blood cells. Your red blood cells are typically donut shaped and have the job of carrying oxygen around your body. In people with sickle cell anemia, the blood cells become crescent-shaped and are thick and sticky. They are not as able to carry oxygen, and can even get clogged in the blood vessels blocking the flow of blood, and therefore oxygen to organs, causing pain and organ damage.

Sickle cell is caused by a genetic mutation that changes a single glutamic acid to valine in the 6th amino acid position.

A) Examine the codon chart provided above (for #s 3-5), and determine what mutation likely occurred to cause the change from glutamic acid (GLU) to valine (VAL). To help get you started, it is helpful to know that a person with NO sickle cell at amino acid #6 has a DNA code of CTC. (4pts)

Normal RNA: _, Normal amino acid made: _

Mutated RNA: _, Mutated amino acid made: _

What type of mutation is this? _

Explanations are appreciated

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.
