CAIE IGCSE Biology EXTENDED 17.1.6 Different sequences of amino acids
Practise linking amino acid sequence to protein shape, then applying that change to red blood cell structure and blood flow in sickle cell anaemia.
How this is tested
- explain how an altered haemoglobin shape can make red blood cells sickle-shaped or rigid
- use a photomicrograph to suggest how abnormal red blood cells block capillaries
