Question

DNA is a double helix formed by base pairs attached to a backbone. sugar-phosphate protein-phosphate transfer RNA messenger RNA in a deoxygenated environment, how does the HBS protein affect a red blood cell? It causes the cell to change shape It causes the cell to change color It causes the red blood cell to change into a platelet It causes the red blood cell to change into a white blood cell. Three individuals lived in a mosquito-infested area of central Africa. Individual 1 only has HBA; Individual 2 has HBA and HBS; and Individual 3 only has HBS. If all other medical conditions are the same, which individual would MOST LIKELY have better health? Individual 1 Individual 2 Individual 3 Individuals 2 and 3 We know that replacing one amino acid in the 6th position changes HBA to HBS. in normal to high oxygen
