What type of anemia does a gene mutation cause?
A certain substitution in human DNA changes the code for hemoglobin; this ultimately results in sickle-cell anima.
Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
What type of mutation causes sickle-cell anemia?
it is caused by substitution in your DNA and causes a harmful change the only benifet from this is protection against malaria
Is sickle cell anemia a type of poikilocytosis?
Yes, drepanocytosis(sickle cell anemia) is a type of poikilocytosis.
What type of mutation causes sickle cell anemia substitution deletion insertion mutagen?
The type of mutation that causes a defect in the gene (causing sickle cell anaemia) is a substitution mutation.A single nucleotide substitution (A to T) in the β-globin gene causes the amino acid valine to replace glutamic acid. This changes the resulting protein, causing a haemoglobin with an abnormal shape to be created.
What is a type of red blood cell disorder?
