Question
(i) When does sickle cell anemia disease appears?
(ii) What is the difference between the structure formula of thymine and uracil?
(iii) Define heredity and chromosome.
✓

Answer

(i) When valine $\alpha$-amino acid comes in place of glutamic acid in hemoglobin, then sickle cell anemia occurs.
(ii) Thymine has a methyl group $\left( CH _3\right)$ attached to its ring structure, whereas uracil does not have this methyl group.

Heredity is the transfer of specific characteristic from parents to offspring through resproduction.
Chromosomes are thread like structures made up of nucleic acids (DNA) and proteins. They are mostly found in the nucleus of the cells. They carry the hereditary or genetic information in the form of genes.
