What is an allele? Give example
In the DNA, different alleles of a gene have a different sequence of ***18. Complete this flowchart to show how different alleles can result in different characteristics. different sequence of in transcription > different sequence of in a protein translation > different structure and function of the protein (e.g. normal enzyme vs. defective enzyme) > different characteristics (e.g. normal color vs. albino) In this section, you will analyze how different alleles of the hemoglobin gene can result in sickle cell ar vs. normal health. ***19. Compare the nucleotide sequence in the "Beginning of Normal Hemoglobin Gene" vs. the "Beginning of Sickle Cell Hemoglobin Gene". What is the only difference?
