The gene for the beta chain of normal human hemoglobin has the sequence CTC at the position for the seventh amino acid in the protein. A point mutation changing the sequence to CAC results in sickle cell hemoglobin. Use the genetic code to determine the change in the amino acid at position seven of the hemoglobin beta chain.1. glutamic acid to histidine2. glutamine to histidine3. glutamic acid to leucine4. glutamic acid to valine

Why are small quantities of chlorofluorocarbons so harmful to the ozone layer? a. the chlorofluorocarbons act like ultraviolet radiation causing large amount of ozone to be produced. b. the chlorine from the chlorofluorocarbons reacts with free molecules of oxygen causing a stop in ozone production c. free oxygen atoms can replace the chlorine in chlorine monoxide, releasing a free atom of chlorine which can then recombine with an oxygen atom in ozone, destroying more ozone. d. chlorofluorocarbons absorb ultraviolet radiation, preventing the formation of ozone select the best answer from the choices provided
