Explain the relation between vitamin b12 and pernicious anemia?
first of all its called vitamin b12 deficiency anemia. Pernicious anemia and vitamin B12 deficiency anemia are the same thing. Pernicious anemia is caused by a lack of vitamin B12. You're not able to absorb the vitamin B12 due to the absence of intrinsinc factor.
How can sickle cell be prevented?
once youdidn't get it from birth, then it is not possible to get it when you grown up, but if you want to protect your future children not get the disease than it is better not to married from sickle cell disease man
What is the sickle cell trait of sickle cell anemia?
The sickle cell trait is that you dont have the whole thing you have half of it which is called the trait
What is the common name for sickle cell anemia?
It is a genetic disorder. However... It is also a protection against malaria. For example, if a person were born in an area where malaria is present, he or she would likely die from the disease, unless he or she inherited 1 sickle cell gene. Malaria viruses reproduce in the red blood cells. The parent virus invades a cell, and uses the cell as a host to grow more viruses. With 1 sickle cell gene, malaria viruses that invade a red cell are quickly destroyed, since the red cell collapses, preventing the virus from reproducing. But with 2 sickle cell genes, red cells collapse too easily; just a bruise can cause someone to become anemic when too many red cells collapse. In the real world, people with no sickle cell genes died from malaria. People with 1 sickle cell gene survived. People with 2 sickle cell genes died from sickle cell anemia. It was natures way of assuring that at least half of the population survive, but it is certainly a difficult thing to live with today, now that we can more easily treat malaria.
What is the illness sickle cell anemia?
Sickle-cell Anemia, or Sickle-cell Disease, is a disease which is caused by a mutation in the animo acid sequence of the red blood cells.The type of mutation occurs during the transcription of messenger RNA (e.g. GTC becomes CCG instead of CAG ). This change causes the mRNA to translate into a different amino acid (e.g. Valine instead of Glutamate ).In this disease, the changes start in amino acids, the primary structure of proteins, thus changing all the higher protein structures. The red blood cells then will have a different shape, like a sickle.These sickle shaped red blood cells will nor function normally. Thier shape disables them from flowing easily in the blood vessels, which might lead to further complications. Also, their life span is shorter than the normal cells, hence causing Anemia.See the Related Link.A chronic, inherited blood disorder characterized by crescent-shaped red blood cells. It occurs primarily in people of African descent, and produces symptoms including episodic pain in the joints, fever, leg ulcers, and jaundice.
Is there a straight sickle?
no there is no such thing as a straight sickle
Can the accidental ingestion of insect larvae provide vitamin B12 in a vegan diet?
I really believe that the B12 thing is exaggerated. How many vegans with pernicious anemia are there? You can get B12 from supplements and foods such as nutritional yeast, seaweed, and miso.
What are two genetic disorders?

Can black people get chickenpox?
Yes. The only thing I am aware of that remotely might be related to your question is that if someone has sickle cell anemia they are unlikely to get malaria.
What are atleast facts about sickle cell anemia?
1. Sickle Cell was the 1st genetic disorder discovered2. 1 in every 500 Black babies born have Sickle Cell However any one of any race can have sickle cell this is why in more than 40 states every single baby born is tested for sickle cell 3. Sickle Pain happen because the blood flow is blocked and the tissue is dying, the same reason that people have pain from a heart attack. So think of a crises as having heart attacks all over your body 4. Pain is not the only symptom of Sickle cell, every sickle cell champion is not in pain but blood flow can be interrupted any where even in your organs this is why the most devastating thing that this disease can do is cause a STROKE. 5. There is only 1 medication that is FDA approved To treat "Sickle Cell" (many medications treat the symptoms) but HYDROYUREA is the only medication to treat the disease.
Is hemoglobin s the same thing as hemoglobin solubility?
Hemoglobin S refers to the hemoglobin that forms in patients with sickle cell anemia. Hemoglobin solubility is a test that can be performed in order to determine if the patient has sickle cell anemia.
Why should couples that are ready to have a baby be tested for sickle cell trait?
Black couples should be tested, because about 1 in 12 black Americans carry sickle-cell trait. A person with sickle-cell trait has a 50/50 chance of passing it to their offspring. If both parents have sickle-cell trait, then there's a 1 in 4 chance their child could wind up with full-blown sickle cell anemia, which is associated with a significantly reduced life expectancy (maybe 50 years vs. 70-ish for those without it). The trait is also reasonably common among Hispanics, where about 1 in 100 are carriers. Northern Europeans ... not so much. It turns out that sickle-cell trait is actually a good thing to have if you live where there's a lot of malaria; it makes you be less affected by the disease. Not a lot of malaria in northern Europe, so people whose ancestors are from there don't tend to carry the trait.
