Hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, carries oxygen. Abnormal
hemoglobin cannot carry as much oxygen as normal hemoglobin. The sequences
below show sections of the DNA sequence that produce both the normal and
abnormal types of hemoglobin.
- Write the messenger RNA sequences that would be produced from the normal
and abnormal DNA sequences shown above.
- Using the codon table, write the amino acid sequences produced from the DNA
for normal and abnormal hemoglobin.
- Beginning with DNA, describe the process that forms proteins such as
hemoglobin.
