The protein hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in red blood cells,is a protein complex that consists of 4 separate subunits encodedby 2 genes: One gene encodes the two alpha-globin subunits whilethe other encodes the two beta-globin subunits. Four functionalsubunits (2 of each kind) are needed for a functional complex.

If a person carries just one mutant allele for alpha-globin, anycomplexes containing a copy of the mutant protein arenonfunctional, even if the other alpha-globin subunit is normal. Asa result, almost all the hemoglobin produced is nonfunctional.

This is an example of a     mutation.

leaky / hypomorphic

gain of function / neomorphic

gain of function / hypermorphic

dominant negative / antimorphic
