Sickle-cell anemia is caused due to the substitution of : 1. Valine by glutamic acid at sixth position of alpha chain of heamoglobin 2. Valine by glutamic acid at sixth position of beta chain of haemoglobin 3. glutamic acid by valine at sixth position of alpha chain of haemoglobin 4. glutamic acid by valine at sixth position of beta chain of haemoglobin

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 ... Amino acids in Hb : a_1-a_2-a_3-a_4-a_5 - Glutamic acid- Glutamic acid - a_8 ......

[A]: Sickle-cell anaemia is a genetically de- termined disorder affecting many new born babies. [R]: It is caused by heterozygosity for allele Hb^c , producing a single amino acid substitu- tion in the a-chain of the normal haemoglo- bin molecule determined by allele Hb^A .
