Sickle-cell anemia results from a point mutation in the HBB gene. The mutation results in the replacement of an amino acid that has
(a) hydrophilic R-group with an amino acid that has a hydrophobic R-group on the exterior of the hemoglobin protein. Such a mutation would most likely result in altered
(A) properties of the molecule as a result of abnormal interactions between adjacent hemoglobin molecules
(B) DNA structure as a result of abnormal hydrogen bonding between nitrogenous bases
(C) fatty acid structure as a result of changes in ionic interactions between adjacent fatty acid chains
(D) protein secondary structure as a result of abnormal hydrophobic interactions between R-groups in the backbone of the protein
Ans: (a) hydrophilic R-group with an amino acid that has a hydrophobic R-group on the exterior of the hemoglobin protein. Such a mutation would most likely result in altered

If we wish to use a regression line to determine the effect of multiple treatment levels (e.g., Treatment = 1, 2, 3), why can't we just plot the average outcome for each treatment level and "connect the dots?"
A. This will cause us to have too few equations to solve for our unknown parameters. B. We cannot use a regression line to measure the effects of multiple treatments. C. Connecting the dots generally will not form a line. D. Using averages for each treatment level will generally create bias.
