Yes, and this is the only way to get sickle cell disease or sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell (both the milder "disease" form and the more severe "anemia" form) are caused by an inherited mutation in a protein that helps form the red blood cells - the defect results in red blood cells that are shaped like crescents or sickles, which is how the disease gets its name.
NO, Sickle Cell Anemia is a Genetic Disorder that you inherit from your Parents. You are either born with it or not.
Both were carriers.
The person is homozygous for the trait
Yes! If both parents have the sickle cell disease, the child will have sickle cell. Otherwise, you can Google it or bing it to see other ways.
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
A child has to receive the gene from both parents to heve sickle cell anemia. if only one parent passes on the gene, then the child will have sickle cell trait, but no symptoms of sickle cell anemia.
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
yes, it is inherited from both parents.
Sickle cell anemia is a inherited blood disorder. This means everyone who has sickle cell has inherited it from their parents. With this in mind it means there was a key ancestor in Africa or the Mediterranean who had the first sickle cell anemia and passed it on to their descendants.
The sickle cell anaemia is not a deficiency disease. It is a hereditary disease caused by defective gene in both the parents.
Yes. It is a genetic disease passed by both parents with the sickle cell trait and it is very painful for the person who has it. They eventually, die of it.
