Question

A mutated form of hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin Lepore occurs rarely in the human population. Hemoglobin Lepore has a deleted set of amino acids. If it were caused by unequal crossing over, what would be an expected consequence?

The deleted gene must have undergone exon shuffling.

The deleted region must be located in a different area of the individual's genome.

Each of the genes in the hemoglobin gene family must show the same deletion.

If it is still maintained in the human population, hemoglobin Lepore must be selected for in evolution.

There should also be persons born with a duplicated set of amino acids.

Answer 1

Any change in genetic material of an organism is named as mutation. If due to mutation then is change in normal hemoglobin and it's maintain in population then it must be selected for evolution since mutation is very Important for evolution. So option 4th option will be correct answer
