Across
- 5. The cellular organelle synthesizes proteins
- 7. A type of mutation where one base pair is replaced by another.
- 8. The organ that is most affected by sickle cell disease.
- 11. The type of inheritance pattern sickle cell anemia follows.
- 14. The chromosome that carries HBB gene.
- 15. The type of mutation that changes one nucleotide in DNA.
- 17. The shape of red blood cells in sickle cell anemia.
- 18. The gene that codes for the affected protein in sickle cell anemia.
- 19. The amino acid replaces glutamic acid in sickle cell anemia
- 20. The base that replaces adenine in the mutated gene causing sickle cell anemia
Down
