False; Hemophilia is caused by a mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein fibrin.
Sickle Cell Disease is caused by a defective form of hemoglobin.

I believe Sickle Cell Disease is caused by a defective form of hemoglobin.

What happens to the instructions when the genes are changed or mutated Provide an example of hemoglobin gene mutation?
If our hemoglobin gene is normal, the hemoglobin protein works fine. But if the instuctions in that gene are changed, or "mutated,"changes in the hemoglobin protein could result. One such mutation causes a disorder called sickle cell anemia.
What gene or chromosome is mutated in the hemophilia disorder?
There are two types of hemophilia. Type A: A mutation in the factor VIII gene. Type B: A mutation in the IX gene.
What are two diseases linked to the X chromosome?
One disorder could be colorblindness. Colorblindness is most common in males because in order to have to disorder you must carry two mutated X chromosomes. Another recessive genetic disorder you can get is called Hemophilia. This is a disorder in which the genes for hemoglobin are not present and your body is not able to create blood clots and a simple scratch can be very serious.
Does Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva have a bad chromosome?
The gene that is mutated in a person who has Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva is called the ACVR1 gene. A small mutation in one of the two copies of the ACVR1 gene modifies the meaning of its genetic message, so a defective protein is made.
Does hemophilia result from too many or too few chromosomes?
The gene for the most well known form of hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. It is not the result of too many or too few chromosomes. A male receives only one X chromosome while the receives two X chromosomes. These gene codes for factor VIII, one of the factors within the clotting cascade. If a female inherits the mutated gene, she has a second gene on the other X chromosome. However, she is capable of passing the gene for hemophilia onto her children. Males inherit one X chromosome and so have hemophilia. This is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a complete answer.

False, Sickle Cell Disease :))

Did Stacy Romanov and her sisters have hemophilia?
Grand Duchess ANASTASIA and her sisters were probably carriers of the hemophilia gene but did not suffer from the effects of hemophilia. Males suffer from hemophilia. In rare cases girls do suffer but that is only when both parents carry the mutated gene

Cancer results from a malfunction of what?
Cancer starts out as a single cell deviding into a mutated cell, which then devides more and more and more until you have a mass of defective, mutated cells, which can no longer preform there job, massing in a single area.
What are two sex-chromosome disorders?
One disorder could be colorblindness. Colorblindness is most common in males because in order to have to disorder you must carry two mutated X chromosomes. Another recessive genetic disorder you can get is called Hemophilia. This is a disorder in which the genes for hemoglobin are not present and your body is not able to create blood clots and a simple scratch can be very serious.
What happens to haemoglobin in sickle cell anaemia?
Hemoglobin molecules are mutated, thus giving the red blood cells an abnormal, rigid shape.
What do you get when you cross a male hemophiliac with a female hemophiliac?
The gene for hemophilia A is found on the X chromosome (it is a sex-linked recessive disorder). Women have two X chromosomes and men have one X chromosome. A woman with hemophilia (very rare) would have the mutated gene on both of her X chromosomes. This means that all of their children, both male and female would have hemophilia.
What would happen if the code for a protein that allowed your blood to clot was mutated?
Nonfunctional blood clotting agent will result in a case of hemophilia, and any cut or bruise must be taken very seriously.
What are two genetic disorder that are caused by a recessive allele on the X chromosome?
well, I am in a sophmore Biology class and learned today the answer to your question. One disorder would be colorblindness. Colorblindness is most common in males because in order to have to disorder you must carry two mutated x chromosomes. The mother would have to carry the mutated chromosome because the male only has one and in order for the offspring to receive 2 mutated x chromosoms the mother will obviously need to be carrying it as well as the father. Another recessive genetic dissorder you can get is called "Hemophilia." This is a disorder in which the genes for hemoglobin are not present, and your body is not able to create blood clots and a simple scratch can be very serious. It can be treated with injections of clotting protiens. HOPE THIS HELPS
