Sickle cell anaemia has not been eliminated from the African population because:
1. It is controlled by recessive genes
2. It is not a fatal disease
3. It provides immunity against malaria
4. It is controlled by dominant genes
The genetic change shown in the given figure shows the pathogenesis of:
1. | Phenylketonuria | 2. | Cystic fibrosis |
3. | Sickle cell anemia | 4. | Thalassemia |
Given below is the initial amino acids of the beta chain of a haemoglobin molecule. What will be true about this haemoglobin molecule?
1. | The RBCs carrying this molecule will undergo sickling at a high oxygen tension |
2. | The RBCs carrying this molecule will undergo sickling at a low oxygen tension |
3. | There will be a quantitative decrease in the synthesis of this molecule |
4. | This is the normal beta chain of the haemoglobin molecule |
