Sickle-cell anemia is a genetic disorder that affects the shape and function of red blood cells. In affected individuals, hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen, is abnormal, causing red blood cells to become rigid and crescent-shaped. This abnormal shape leads to blockages in blood vessels, resulting in pain, increased risk of infections, and potential organ damage due to reduced blood flow and oxygen supply. Additionally, these sickle-shaped cells have a shorter lifespan, leading to chronic anemia.

Sicklecell anemia is caused when a mutation results in the replacement of glutamate with valine. Which type of mutation is observed here?
The mutation that results in the replacement of glutamate with valine in sickle cell anemia is a missense mutation. This type of mutation occurs when a single nucleotide change in the DNA sequence leads to the substitution of one amino acid for another in the resulting protein. In this case, the specific change involves the codon for glutamic acid being altered to code for valine, which affects the hemoglobin structure and function.
