Sickle cell Anemia is auto somal. because it's chromosomes don't separate
yes
Sickle cell anemia is not sex linked.
yes - no its not because a sickle cell is basically a diseased cell that is shapped like a sickle.. a disease in bloodcell - it cannot get as much oxygen as healthy blood cells
Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that it is caused by a mutation in one of the autosomal chromosomes (chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes). In the case of sickle cell disease, the mutation occurs in the gene encoding the beta-globin subunit of hemoglobin on chromosome 11.

It is more common for people of African descent to get sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia is linked to survivors of falciparum malaria (P. falciparum), it is believed that the hemoglobin cells take on the sickle shape to give the mammal an increased survival rate.

The male female ratio is 1:1 since there is no sex predilection for Sickle Cell Anemia.
Hemoglobin is a protein, which is composed of linked amino acids.
Sickle cell anemia is a recessive genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the HBB gene, located on chromosome 11. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning a person needs to inherit two abnormal copies of the gene (one from each parent) to have the disease. It is not an X-linked disorder or a multifactoial trait.
The shape of the cell is misshapen.
Sickle Cell....... My son has been diagnosed with sickle cell trait. We are white and the doctors called it Sickle Cell Trait! hope this helps...
