What is the DNA code for normal hemoglobin?
The DNA code for normal hemoglobin is the gene that encodes for the production of the protein hemoglobin. The sequence of this gene includes instructions for building the alpha and beta globin chains that make up the hemoglobin protein. This gene is located on chromosome 11 in humans.
Is the B subunit of the hemoglobin A molecule a complete DNA molecule?
B-subunit of the hemoglobin A molecule is not a complete DNA molecule. It contains 4 subunits
Is the B-subunit of the hemoglobin A molecule a complete DNA molecule?
No, the B-subunit of hemoglobin A is a protein subunit, not a DNA molecule. Hemoglobin is composed of four protein subunits (two alpha and two beta) that come together to form the hemoglobin molecule, which carries oxygen in red blood cells. The instructions for making these protein subunits are found in the DNA of our cells.
How is the manufacture of hemoglobin linked to genes in humans?
Haemoglobin is a globular protein. DNA controlled the production of enzyme indiretly.
What tags should be used to retrieve information from a database about a DNA segment of a human gene that codes for a specific protein?
Nucleotide sequence, human, hemoglobin
Can new alleles be made by removing a DNA base point?
Yes. Sickle cell trait is an example of this. One amino acid difference in hemoglobin structure due to a point mutation on one of the hemoglobin subunit genes.
Is there a cell in humans that don't have DNA?
No. Not all cells have a nucleus, which contains nuclear DNA; but all cells have mitochondria, which have their own DNA, called mitochondrial DNA, or mDNA. In humans, the cells that lack a nucleus and therefore nuclear DNA, are mature red blood cells, but they do have mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA.
How does your body make hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is found in all mammals and in some vertebrates. The following is for mammals only. Our DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) carries the blueprints for Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein that is carried by red blood cells or used by organs as an antioxidant and a regulator of iron metabolism. Hemoglobin is made before the cell is made; the alpha chain and the beta chain are made in precisely equal amounts, despite the differing number of genes. The protein chains join in developing red blood cells, and remain together for the life of the red cell.
What part of the blood cell carries oxygen?
hemoglobin
Define hemoglobin phoresis?
what is hemoglobin?
Is Hemoglobin a lipid?
No, hemoglobin is a protein.
what is A change in just one DNA base for the gene that codes for the protein causes sickle shaped red blood cells?
A change in just one DNA base in the gene that codes for the protein hemoglobin can lead to sickle cell disease. This specific mutation substitutes adenine for thymine in the gene, resulting in the production of abnormal hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. The altered hemoglobin causes red blood cells to assume a rigid, sickle shape, leading to various complications, including reduced oxygen transport and increased risk of blockages in blood vessels. This single base change exemplifies how small genetic variations can have significant effects on health.
