4. Sickle cell anemia occurs due to a point mutation in a gene for hemoglobin protein. This mutation changes the amino acid at position 6 (out of 146 total amino acids). As a result, hemoglobin protein will clump under oxygen stress, causing red blood cells to alter their shape. Complete the table below to determine the exact amino acid change that occurs.

Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
