Christian Dutton has gunneria and will be a virgin for life.
The normal and mutant beta-globin genes are found on chromosome 11.
The 11th.
Chromosome #11 is affected in sickle-cell anemiaChromosome #11 is affected in sickle-cell anemia
Sickle cell anemia is not sex linked.
Sickle cell disease is an autosomal reccessive sexlinked trait so, a female msut have 2 recessive alleles to have the trait and a male needs only one allele (this is because there is no corresponding site for this allele on the Y chromosome. The female can be a carrier of the disorder with the defective allele on one X chromosome and a normal allele on the other X chromosome. Female carrriers can have a mixture of normal and abnormal redblood cells.
Sickle cell disease is caused when someone inherits sickle shaped hemoglobin. It is a disease that can be managed, but not cured.

Sickle cell is a sex-linked trait, If some one is a carrier than the trait is passed down on that chromosome.
The allele responsible for sickle-cell anemia can be found on the short arm of chromosome 11, more specifically 11p15.The sickle-cell disease occurs when the sixth amino acid, glutamic acid, is replaced by valine to change its structure and function. Sickle-cell anemia is also known as E6V.Valine is hydrophobic, causing the hemoglobin to collapse on itself occasionally. The genetic disorder is due to the mutation of a single nucleotide, from a GAG to GTG codon on the coding strand, which is transcribed from the template strand into a GUG codon.
Sickle cell anemia is not sex linked.
This is inherited on the X chromoseome and is recessive. This means a female (who has XX chromosome pair) can only express the disease if she carries the trait on both chromosomes. This is because of the recessive nature of the gene. A male can only inherit the disease from his mother. This is he must have obtained his Y chromosome from his father so he obtains the X chromosome from his mother. A male cannot carry the gene without expressing it as he doesnt have another X chromosome to supress the recessive gene. ^ This answer is biologically incorrect because Sickle cell Anemia is actually autosomal recessive, not sex-linked recessive; this means that males and females are affected equally and it is NOT carried on the X chromosome. In order for the trait to show up in an individual, BOTH parents must be carriers of the disease (at least 1 sickle cell gene must be present).

Sickle Cell Anemia is Autosomal Recessive. It arises from a mutation on the beta-globin gene of chromosome 11. Because Sickle Cell Anemia is an example of incomplete dominance, a person has the disease if they have two mutated beta-globin genes but only has the trait (is a carrier) if they have only one mutated beta-globin gene.
aneuploidy.Aneuploidy is an abnormal number of chromosomes, and is a type of chromosome abnormality. An extra or missing chromosome is a common cause of genetic disorders (birth defects).Some genetic disorders are polycystic kidney disease / sickle cell anemia / hemophilia.This comes from wikipedia
Sickle cell generally affects those of African origin, more specifically those whose parents are from areas where malaria is common
Sickle cell anemia is a gentic disease carried by people of African and sometimes Indian decent. Although both parents need to at least carry the gene for their children to get it not necessarily have the disease.
No. Sickle Cell is not an infectious disease, but is genetic.
No, sickle cell disease is not cancerous.
