Study the following carefully and explain why mutation (A) did not cause any sickle cell anemia in spite of change in the molecular structure of the gene which codes for Haemoglobin, when as a similar mutation (B) did. (The question is based on properties of the genetic code. c= codon, a = amino acid, Hb = Haemoglobin) Codons for Hb: C_1 - C_2 -C_3 -C_4 - C_5 -G AA -GAA- C_8 ...
