1. Briefly describe the affect of the glutamic acid to valine mutation on the Hemoglobin protein as it relates to Sickle Cell Anemia. 2. Is your prediction (from question 3 in Part I) consistent with the description of the cause of the sickle-cell anemia disease (from the BME3D computer tutorial)? Explain.

For example, a person has suffered a traumaresulting in a large open wound and has lost a large volume of blood. The wound hasbeen temporarily closed and blood loss has been slowed.Consider the above scenario to answer the following questions in sentence format.a. While blood supports many functions, what would be the primary short-termpurpose of artificial blood in this scenario?b. What characteristics would artificial blood need to have in order to functionwell in the body to address acute blood loss?c. What type of tissue is blood?
