Assertion :-Sickle-cell anaemia is cause...

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.
