What are some red blood cell diseases?
Sickle cell disease is one of many diseases of the red blood cell.
What population of people does sickle-cell effect more than others?
Sickle-cell anemia affects black people more than other groups. There is some indication that sickle-cell gives a survival benefit for some tropical diseases, such as the Malaria parasite.

What are some genetic diseases?
one genetic disease is sickle cell disease. another is thallasemia.
Sickle cell anemia and some nerve and brain disorders are examples of which of these?
Sickle cell anemia and some nerve and brain disorders are examples of inherited diseases. These inherited diseases pass from parent to child via chromosomal exchange.
How is it possible for only some races to have certain diseases or deformities like Sickle-Cell Anemia for African-Americans and Head Lice for Caucasians?
Some diseases are the result of adaptations to an environment. As it turns out, Sickle Cell Anemia is an adaptation to Malaria. If a person has a single copy of the Sicke Cell gene, he or she is protected against Malaria. If he or she has NO copies of the gene, he or she will die if exposed to Malaria. If he or she has two copies of the gene he or she will die from Sickle Cell Anemia. Malaria was fatal to pretty much everyone. The genetic mutation allowed about half of the population of the region to live. Today, we no longer have the threat from Malaria so now Sickle Cell Anemia becomes the problem.
What is the difference between thalassemia and sickle cell anemia?
Though Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia are seemingly similar to the unknowing, a large difference remains; Thalassemia is characterized by a reduced production from one of the globin chains which make up hemoglobin while in Sickle Cell Anemia, the globin chains themselves are structurally defective.
What are Some diseases that the body cannot defend itself against?
Sickle Cell Disease, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDs), Gonorrhoea and Haemophilia are some diseases that the body cannot defend itself against. :D
When Point mutation occurrs at a cellular level what diseases can be caused?
When point mutation occurs at cellular level, it can cause many diseases. Some of these diseases include Cancer, Sickle-Cell Anemia, Cystic Fibrosis and Color Blindness.
What groups get sickle cell disease?
A person can only inherit sickle-cell genes if some of their ancestors came from certain regions in Africa where the inhabitants carry sickle-cell genes. A person with one sickle-cell gene has sickle-cell trait, a milder problem. If both father and mother pass on sickle-cell genes, the child, with two genes, will have sickle-cell disease.
If Natasha has normal blood cell but marries someone who has sickle cell trace What are the chances of them having a child with sickle cell?
If a person does not carry the Sickle cell trait and they marry some one with the trait. The child that comes from that relationship can never have sickle cell disease, however that child has a chance of having the sickle trait.
How are dieseases inherited?
This means that you inherit certain genes from your parents; these genes can predispose you to a certain diseases. For example, you may be more vulnerable to certain bacteria, or the genes may directly related to some defect, such as sickle-cell anemia.This means that you inherit certain genes from your parents; these genes can predispose you to a certain diseases.
