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. DNA gene MRNA codon Amino acid at Protein position 6 Functional hemoglobin ..CTC... Sickle cell hemoglobin ...CAC...
