Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Sickle-cell hemoglobin (HbS) differs from normal hemoglobin (HbA) due to a single amino acid substitution, which changes its net charge. Because electrophoresis separates molecules based on charge and size, HbA and HbS migrate differently in an electric field, so they show different mobilities.
