Easy

A

transversion point mutation in the gene for beta globin chain where T is substituted for A
B

transition point mutation in the gene for beta globin chain where T is substituted for A
C

transversion point mutation in the gene for beta globin chain where A is substituted for T
D

transition point mutation in the gene for beta globin chain where A is substituted for T

Solution

Sickle cell anemia is caused by a transversion: T is substituted for A in the gene for a hemoglobin subunit. It is point mutation where there is change of single base pair in the gene for beta globin chain that results in the change of amino acid residue glutamate to valine.
