Question

Some scientists believe that the gene that controls the production of hemoglobin, a protein responsible for the binding of oxygen to red blood cells of humans, is located at the position shown in the diagram. Scientists could gather more information about the relationship of this region of the DNA and the production of hemoglobin by asking which of the following questions?

A) Do other animals, besides humans, have this section of DNA within their genetic material?
B) Is this section of DNA found in all humans who produce normal amounts of hemoglobin?
C) Is this section of DNA associated with the production of other proteins?
D) Do humans who lack this section of DNA exhibit problems with oxygen binding to red blood cells?

Answer 1

B) Is this section of DNA found in all humans who produce normal amounts of hemoglobin?

D) Do humans who lack this section of DNA exhibit problems with oxygen binding to red blood cells?
