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.
