Carbon's versatile bonding behavior allows it to form a variety of structures and are the base of allmacromolecules. The diagram shows the structure of an amino acid, which is the monomer unit forproteins.6.H HOH-N-C-C-OHR(a) Identify and describe the polymer structures of a protein that constitutes its unique conformation.(b) (b) Enzymes function is dependent upon its shape. Identify ONE environmental factor and explainthe way in which it affects its function. 5. Sickle cell anemia is a genetically inherited autosomal recessive trait in which results in a condition thatthere are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body due to the production ofred blood cells that are sickle shaped. The frequency of the sickle cell condition is as high as 10% inCentral Africa compared to 0.5% in the United States.(a) Calculate the frequency of the normal and carries of the sickle cell condition.(b) (b) Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite that infects healthy red blood cells and can lead todeath. However, the parasite is not able to infect sickle cell red blood cells. Scientists claim that thehigher frequency of sickle cell carriers is due to the presence of malaria. Provide reasoning to supportthe claim.

Since there are multiple questions in this particular question, I will answer the first one for you.…

9. The factors for normal hemoglobin (S) and sickle-cell hemoglobin (s) are considered codominants: heterozygous individuals have some normal red blood cells and some sickle cells but are not considered to have the disease. A heterozygote is said to have the sickle-cell trait but not the disease. A. What is the genotype of a man with the sickle-cell trait? B. If normal man marries a heterozygous woman, what do you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? C. If 2 heterozygous people marry and have 3 children who don’t have the disease, what is the chance that their fourth child will have the disease? D. Assume that medical science finds a treatment for sickle-cell anemia so that people with the disease can live out a normal life span but their genes are not changed. If 2 people are saved from the effects of the disease, marry, and have children, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? Would the children…

8. Huntington’s disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system that strikes in middle age. The allele that causes the disease (H) is dominant to the allele that results in the normal condition (h). Answer the following questions about the inheritance of this disease. A. What is the genotype of a man who is normal but whose father had Huntington’s disease? B. What is the genotype of a woman who has Huntington’s disease if both of her parents had Huntington’s disease? C. If a man who is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease marries a woman who is normal, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? D.

4.) A man and a woman have a child. The father is blood type A, and one of his parents was blood type A and the other was blood type O. The mother is blood type B, and one of her parents was blood type B, the other type O. Both the father and the mother are carriers of the Bombay allele. (Neither of the type-O grandparents were type O because of the Bombay allele – they had the regular type O genotype.) WhataretheoddsthattheirbabywillhavebloodtypeO? WhataretheoddsthattheirbabywillhavebloodtypeAB? (Hint – for this question, you should draw out a pedigree and fill in as much as you can for the genotypes of BOTH genes that are involved.)

(XHXh) while the father is normal. ( XHY) . What is the genotype of the Prince if he carries the bleeder’s disease? What is the probability that all the female princesses are normal? Use the Punnett square to show your solution.

2. Anyone who inherits a single copy of the Huntington’s allele will get Huntington’s disease, if they live long enough. The age of onset of Huntington’s symptoms for those who inherit the disease allele can vary, starting in the patients’ 40s, 50s, or 60s. What is the genetic term for this variation in symptoms and in their time of appearance?
1. Suppose you identify a new gene in mice. One of its alleles specifies white fur, another specifies brown. You want to see if these alleles are inherited in a Mendelian pattern, or with incomplete dominance. What crosses would give you the answer? Explain. 2. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is an example of a complex genetic disorder caused by a single mutation. Read section 13.1 Menacing Mucus in your text, and explain the cause and symptoms of CF and justify it as an example of pleiotropy.
