Sickle-cell anaemia is caused due to the substitution of :

Identify the pheonomenon in the following example- ''Sickle cell anaemia is an autosomal receissive trait. It is caused by the substituation of amoni acid glutamic acid (Glu) by vlaine (val at the sixt position of the beta globin of haemoglobin. This substituatio of amino acid occurs due to a phenomenon is which the sixth codon of beta globinc gene is. transformed from GAAG t GUG''

In sickle cell anaemia, the substitution of amino acid in the globin protein results due to

Sickle-cell anaemia, the best example of natural selection, is due to gene modification related to amino acid of

In sickle-cell anaemia substitution of glutamic acid molecule by valine molecule takes place at

Assertion :-Sickle-cell anaemia is caused by the substitutin of glutamic acid by valine at the sixth position of the beat globin chain of the hemoglobin moecule. Reason :- It is due to the single base substatution at the sixth codon of the beta lobin gene from GUG to GAG.

In sickle cell anaemia, there is change in amino acid in beta chain at position
