∙ 12y agoYes sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder because it is a mutation on the chromosomes. I hope this helps!!

Is sickle cell anemia recessive or dominant?
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease. Carriers have sickle cell trait, which confers resistance to malaria.
Is sickle cell disease a chromosomal abnormality?
sickle cell is an autosomal recessive disorder
Is sickle cell anemia genetic or environmental?
Sickle cell anemia is genetic. It is an autosomal recessive disease.
Is sickle cell disease dominant or recessive?
The disease is recessive, requiring both parents to carry the allele for the disease to be found in the offspring. If one parent has it, the offspring can also be a carrier, but it will be recessive, and the offspring will have normal RBC (red blood cells)
Is sickle cell disease autosomal or x-linked or chromosomal?
Sickle cell is a sex-linked trait, If some one is a carrier than the trait is passed down on that chromosome.
Is sickle cell anemia an autoimmune disease?
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.
Why does sickle cell disease run in families yet is not present in every generation?
It's because Sickle Cell is a recessive trait.
What is it called when a person has two recessive alleles for sickle cell trait?
they get the disease
What is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder of the blood where an individuals red blood cells are sickle shaped rather than disk shaped?
C. Sickle-cell anemia
If a child has sickle-cell disease (ss) but neither parent is ill. What must be true of he parents' genotypes?
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
A child has sickle-cell disease (ss) but neither parent is ill What must be true of her parents genotypes?
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
A child has sickle-cell disease (ss) but neither parent is ill. What must be true of her parents and rsquo genotypes?
