What mutations does beta-thalassemia have on DNA?
Beta-thalassemia is typically caused by mutations in the HBB gene located on chromosome 11. Common mutations include point mutations, deletions, or insertions in the HBB gene, leading to reduced or absent production of beta-globin chains in hemoglobin. These mutations disrupt the normal structure and function of hemoglobin, resulting in anemia and other symptoms associated with beta-thalassemia.
What various types of genetic material in order from simplest to most complex?
nucleus → chromosome → gene
A segment of chromosome responsible for a particular characteristic?
DNA or genens these are the segments of the chromosome.
What chromosome number is affected in sickle cell disease?
Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation on chromosome 11, specifically in the HBB gene that codes for the beta-globin protein. This mutation leads to the production of abnormal hemoglobin, resulting in the characteristic sickle-shaped red blood cells.
What is the most broadest category to most specific category in genetic material in DNA?
genome -> chromosome -> DNA -> gene
