Sickle-cell eanemia eis ean eexample eof ean einherited edisease. eIndividuals ewith
ethis edisorder ehave emisshapen e(sickle-shaped) ered eblood ecells ecaused eby ea
echange ein ethe esequence eof ethe eβ-globin egene. eWhat eis ethe enature eof ethe
echange?
(a) echromosome eloss
(b) ebase-pair echange
(c) egene eduplication
(d) ebase-pair einsertion e- eCorrect eAnswer e- eB- ebase-pair echange
Even ethrough eDNA epolymerase ehas ea eproofreading efunction, eit estill
