The nucleotide triplet CTC in the sixth position of the l3-chain in DNA forms the complementary nucleotide on (mRNA) that codes for glutamic acid. A point mutation on the l3-chain resulting in the nucleotide triplet CAC forms a complementary nucleotide on mRNA that codes for valine. In sickle cell anemia, you would expect the complementary nucleotide triplet on mRNA from 5&; to 3&; to read
