Which statement does NOT describe how the structure of sickled cells affect their function?
the c-shape may lead to nutrient leakage
the c-shape allows for normal nutrient absorption
the c-shape decreases oxygen delivery
the c-shape results in clumping of red blood cells
30s - Q10
Three specific genes code for the hemoglobin protein. Which of the following would explain how these genes result in a normal round shape.
all three genes can be abnormal
all three genes need to be normal
at least one gene needs to be normal
two out of the three genes needs to be normal
30s - Q11
Which statement provides the best evidence to explain how c-shaped red blood cells could provide benefits against malaria?
due to its typical cell shape, the round cells leak nutrients
due to its typical shape, the round cells provide plenty of oxygen for the malaria germ
due to its unusual shape, the c-shaped cell leaks nutrients that the malaria germ needs to survive
due to its unusual shape, the c-shaped cells absorb more nutrients for the malaria germ
