Question

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.

Normal DNA sequence: GGA CTC CTC
Abnormal DNA sequence: `GGA CAC CTC
~Write the messenger RNA sequences that would be produced from the normal and abnormal DNA sequences shown above.
~What is the purpose of Transcription?

Answer 1

Each subunit surrounds a central heme group that contains iron and binds one oxygen molecule, allowing each haemoglobin molecule to bind four oxygen molecules. Molecules with more oxygen bound to the heme groups are brighter red.

I hope I answer your question
