1. What is the minimum number of DNA nucleotides in this whole gene? 2. What is the sequence of bases on the strand of DNA that is complementary to the template strand? 3. What mRNA will be formed from the template strand of DNA? 4. What amino acids will this mRNA code for? 5. If the 17th base in the template strand of the DNA is changed from T to A, rewrite the new template strand below. . When the template strand of the DNA is changed, this is referred to as a mutation. What kind of mutation is this?

Question
THE MOLECULAR GENETICS OF SICKLE CELL ANEMIA
The following is the base sequence of DNA that codes for first eight
amino acids of the ß chain of hemoglobin. The ß chain of hemoglobin
contains a total of 147 amino acids so this is a small part of the entire
gene.
