<prompt> Sickle cell anemia is the clinical manifestation of homozygous genes for an abnormal haemoglobin molecule. The event responsible for the mutation in the Beta chain isInseionDeletionNon-disjunctionPoint mutation  <response>: Point mutation is a random SNP single-nucleotide polymorphism mutation in the deoxyribonucleic acid DNA that occurs at one point. Point mutations usually take place during DNA replication. DNA replication occurs when one double-stranded DNA molecule creates two single strands of DNA, each of which is a template for the creation of the complementary strand. A single point mutation can change the whole DNA sequence. Changing one purine or pyrimidine may change the amino acid that the nucleotides code for.Point mutation is a random SNP single-nucleotide polymorphism mutation in the deoxyribonucleic acid DNA that occurs at one point.
