Gene Expression and the Impact of a Mutation.
Can someone help me to answer the question 8 and 9, please?
8. How has the mutation altered the polypeptide? Is the function of the hemoglobin molecule (which includes 2 ẞ-globin polypeptides and 2 a-globin polypeptides) impaired? (Read your book to learn more about sickle cell disease.)
9. What is the relationship between the genotype in this case and the individual's phenotype?

Determine which statements could be used as evidence to support the argument that "DNA
influences the proteins that are made" and which statements are just facts.
[Select all that apply.]
The HBB gene that makes beta-globin has several abnormal alleles, including HbS, HbC, and HbE.
Sickle cell disease has been successfully treated using bone marrow transplantation in children and
adults.
The symptoms of sickle cell anemia may not appear in individuals who only carry one HbS allele, but
are always apparent when both alleles are HbS.
If oxygen is removed from red blood cells made by two HbS alleles, the cell will form a sickle shape.
Based on standard MS- LS3-1:
Fish in a cave system in Mexico is missing its eyes, has thin, translucent skin, and is relatively small (7-10 cm in length).
Can you describe by model why structural changes to genes (mutations) on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in beneficial effects to the structure and function of the fish?
Can you answer in the following format?

- BRCA1 is mutated in a large percentage of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. BRCA1 protein serves as a key enzyme in repairing DNA double-strand breaks. More than 800 mutations in the BRCA1 are clinically significant. This collection of mutations include missense mutations, small deletions, and large rearrangements that result in a protein with reduced function or no protein product. BRCA1 functions by interacting with a variety of proteins, such as Rb, Myc, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), and Rad50/51. Rb is important for cell cycle arrest; Myc is a transcription factor that activates genes required for cell proliferation; activated CDK promotes cell cycle progression; and Rad50/51 proteins facilitate repair of DNA double-strand breaks. How many of the mutations listed below would lead to excessive cell growth when the cell was either homozygous or heterozygous for the mutation?
