Solution

The correct option is B DNA RNA Amino acid
CAC/GUG Valine
Sickle cell disease is a group of disorders that affects haemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. People with this disorder have a typical haemoglobin molecules called haemoglobin S, which can distort red blood cells into a sickle, or crescent, shape. The codon on DNA is CAC the complimentary RNA has the codon GUG which leads to formation of amino acid valine.
