In which hereditary disease does abnormal hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin by only a single amino acid?
Sickle-cell anemia
What leads to normal hematocrit levels in anemia?
Iron deficiency anemia. The normal hematocrit (ratio of packed red blood cells to total blood volume) rules out anemia due to loss of blood cells through hemorrhage or sickling. Below-normal hemoglabin indicates an iron deficiency in this case. No available iron = no hemoglobin produced.
What if your hemoglobin level is 8 but RBC count is normal 4.49 is this anemia or worse?
normal range of Hb for male=13-18g% normal range of Hb for female=11-15g% with given information the condition is "hypochromic anemia", plus the basic requisite to be termed as anemia is lowered hb% not decreased RBC count.
The allele for the sickle cell trait is what with the normal allele?
codominant
What are types of anemia that reduce hemoglobin level?
The type of anemia that can reduce the hemaglobin level are the microcytic-hypochromic anemia and the normocytic-normochromic anemia. Microcytic-hypochromic anemia produces small, abnormally small erythrocytes and reduced hemoglobin concentrations. However, hypochromia can occur even in cells of normal size. This type of anemia results from a variety of conditions that are caused by disorders of iron metabolism, porphyrin and heme synthesis, or globin synthesis. Normocytic-normochromic anemia produces a destruction or depletion of normal or mature erythrocytes. Although the erythrocytes are relatively normal in size and in hemoglobin content, they are insufficient in number. This type does not share any common cause, pathologic mechanism, or morphologic characteristics and is less common than the others. The five distinct anemic conditions exemplify the diversity of this classification which are the aplastic anemia, posthemorrhafic anemia, haemolytic anemia, anemia of chronic disease and sickle cell anemia.
Can a normal homozygous individual produce offspring with sickle-cell anemia?
A normal homozygous individual can't produce offspring with sickle cell anemia. Both parents must carry the trait to have an offspring with the illness.
Picture of a pereson who is suffering from agammaglobulinemia?
Normal
What is the hematocrit value of the male with aplastic anemia?
lower than normal. 19
What is the medical definition of anemia?
Anemia is when one has fewer blood cells than normal. There can be many causes for anemia such as excessive blood loss, poor red blood cell production, or destruction of the blood cells.
Can sickle cell anemia affect growth?
Children with sickle cell anemia may have delayed growth and reach puberty at a later age than normal

Individuals heterozygous for sickle-cell anemia appear normal and are resistant to what disease?
malaria
