The statement “Hemoglobin has quaternary structure” is true. “Individual alpha-helices found in hemoglobin are stabilized by ionic bonds” is false. “Hemoglobin would be synthesized by a ribosome on the rough ER” this is a false statement. “A DNA mutation that affects the primary structure of the alpha-globin protein sub-unit would also affect the primary structure of the beta-globin protein sub-unit.” is not true.

Further Explanation:

A polypeptide chain leads to formation of proteins. There are exceptions to proteins; some of them are formed by the association of more than one polypeptide chain (sub-units). These proteins are termed to be as Quaternary proteins.

Depending upon the number of protein chain subunits proteins can be of following types;

Dimers Tetramers Hexamers

Hemoglobin is one such quaternary protein which is formed by as of polypeptide chains association. The polypeptide chains found in hemoglobin are;

Two alpha chains. Two beta chains.

The 3D structure of the molecule is as the result of the hydrogen bond interactions. This interactions gives the molecule it characteristic shape and helps it to carry out it functions effectively.

Formation of hemoglobin occurs differently depending on the components. The hemoglobin molecule has two components that are heme and globin.

The Heme part is formed at following location;

Mitochondria Cytosol of immature erythrocytes.

While, the ‘globin’ part is synthesized by the ribosomes, in the cytosol of the cell. The change or mutation in one of the chain won’t affect the other chain but surely the overall functions and physicality will be altered. For example, the replacement of glutamic acid codon (GAG) to a valine codon (GTG) can lead to sickle cell anemia.

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning. (2 points)
