Chapter 18, Problem 46CI
Thalassemia is an inherited genetic mutation that limits the production of hemoglobin. If less hemoglobin is produced, there is a shortage of red blood cells (anemia). As a result, the body does not have sufficient amounts of oxygen. In one form of thalassemia, thymine (T) is deleted from section 91 (bold) in the following segment of normal DNA: (18.4, 18.5, 18.8)

- What is the order of
nucleotides after T is deleted? - Write the template strand for the mutated DNA segment.
- Write the mRNA sequence from the mutated DNA segment using the template strand in part e.
- What amino acids are placed in the beta chain by the mutated DNA segment?
- How might the properties of this segment of the beta chain be different from the properties of the normal protein?

Yeast breads: Yeast added to flour and water digests carbohydrates from the flour and produces carbon dioxide (CO2) which forms bubbles in the flour water mixture. 2. Quick Breads: Flour, water, baking soda (NaHCO3) and a source of acid, are mixed and baked. The baking soda interacts with acids and heat in the batter to release carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, forming bubbles in the mixture. 3. Flat Breads: A mixture of flour and water are exposed to high heat, causing the water to evaporate quickly, forming bubbles in the mixture.
