C. If the base sequence read GGG CTT CTT TTC instead... (a) would this result in functional hemoglobin? (b) Explain.

Functional.

Explanation:

DNA is the molecule that holds the genetic information of organisms. The nucleotides that make up DNA are four: A (adenine), T (thymine), C (cytosine) or G (guanine). In order for this information to be used by cells, it must be transcribed into a RNA molecule, which is used for the synthesis of proteins that make up the body and carry out body functions.

The RNA molecule is faithfully copied from the DNA molecule, however there are chemical differences between both, because it differs in that the T of DNA is replaced by U (uracil) in RNA.

Each sequence of three nucleotides, called a codon or triplet, encodes an amino acid. And all the amino acids together form the protein.

Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells, whose function is to transport oxygen to the organs and tissues of the body and carbon dioxide from the organs and tissues to the lungs.

The sequence read in the DNA is GGG CTT CTT TTC. Its RNA sequence is CCC GAA GAA AAG. Using a codon table, we can see this codes for Pro - Glut - Glut - Lys, which is part of the normal sequence of the hemoglobin. So, it results in the functional protein.

answer///multiple alleles;

if you know your abc's you should be able to get your answer or just use google
