Some scientists claim that the gene that controls the production of hemoglobin, a protein responsible for the binding of oxygen to red blood cells in humans, is located at the position shown in the diagram below. Which of the following observations would provide the best evidence for this claim? *

Healthy humans all have this same gene in exactly the same location.

Nearby genes on the chromosome are thought to control other blood factors.

Humans lacking this gene exhibit problems with oxygen binding in their red blood cells.

Other organisms that require oxygen have similar genes in similar locations.

A certain genetic mutation is found with a high frequency in populations of humans living in places that experienced a deadly disease in the past. This same mutation is rare in places that have no history of the disease. Based on how genes work, this data best supports which of the following explanations? *

The disease causes the genetic material of humans to mutate just before it causes their disease.

This genetic mutation codes for the production of a protein that provides resistance to the disease.

Humans with this mutation develop this disease and then spread it to other humans without the mutation.

The genetic mutation was present in all populations but did not get passed on in places where humans did not contract the disease.
