Do you think that the altered amino acid sequence in sickle-cell betaglobin could alter the overall structure of hemoglobin?
 
  a. No, a single amino acid substitution is too small of a change to affect a largeprotein.
 b. Yes, a single amino acid substitution could radically affect the overall structure ofhemoglobin.

Question 2

For many years, biologists felt that the highest level of classification of living organisms was the five kingdoms. Recently, some biologists have proposed that the hierarchical classification of organisms start with three domains, the Bacteria, the Archaea, and the Eucarya. Explain the reasoning behind this proposal and why the Bacteria and the Archaea should be in separate domains even though their members are all prokaryotes.
 
  What will be an ideal response?
