A person with one sickle cell is a "carrier". This means that they have the dormant cell in their genetic composition, and if combined with another with the "carrier" gene, they run the high risk on concieving a child with the blood disease-one who has two sickle cells. A person with two sickle cells, has the sickle cell disease and are carriers(The gene is not dormant but active). Hope this simplifies and explains it for you.
it is safe to marry a person with sickle cell, provided that you are not a career of the trait.
A person can only inherit sickle-cell genes if some of their ancestors came from certain regions in Africa where the inhabitants carry sickle-cell genes. A person with one sickle-cell gene has sickle-cell trait, a milder problem. If both father and mother pass on sickle-cell genes, the child, with two genes, will have sickle-cell disease.
The person is homozygous for the trait
Malaria is common in topical ad subtropical zones. The malaria has selected the people with sickle cell anaemia. Although person with sickle cell anemia can have malaria, the carrier, or the person with sickle cell trait is resistant to malaria.
If a person does not carry the Sickle cell trait and they marry some one with the trait. The child that comes from that relationship can never have sickle cell disease, however that child has a chance of having the sickle trait.
The shape of the cell is misshapen.
Sickle Cell....... My son has been diagnosed with sickle cell trait. We are white and the doctors called it Sickle Cell Trait! hope this helps...
Sickle cell is common in people from tropical areas where malaria is prevalent. Malaria can not survive on blood cells that are sickle shaped, so when populations were being killed off by malaria, those with sickle cell were surviving and passing on the sickle cell gene.
a person who receiver traits from anothr karyotype
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
The sickle cell trait is that you dont have the whole thing you have half of it which is called the trait
Yes.
