What are People with Anemia resistant to?
Sickle cell anemia comes as the result of having two sickle cell chromosomes. One sickle cell chromosome makes people resistant to malaria. Unfortunately when people have two sickle cell chromosomes they can get sickle cell anemia. That makes it difficult for their blood to carry oxygen and under certain conditions makes their blood clump. The disease can be deadly. Drugs can help. It probably makes that person resistant to malaria. The sickle cell trait evolved in various places around the world where malaria is common such as Africa and Greece.
Would a karyotype reveal the presence of a sickle-cell disease?
No a karyotype would not reveal the presence of sickle cell because karyotypes are pictures of all of your chromosomes, so it could show the presence of Down syndrome, but not sickle cell disease.

Do nicotine and sickle cell disease have any connections?
Yes there is a connection , those who suffer from sickle cell anemia, nicotine makes it a worse condition. nicotine cause blood vessels to contract more which cause increased pain, and causes reduced oxygen to the lungs. Those with sickle cell is anemic and nicotine further deletes the supply of oxygen to the body. I know a person who did not wanted to quit smoking and he had sickle cell diseases. He was taking medication but it did not help because of nicotine, so he passed away earlier than expected.
How do you treat sickle cell anemia?
Sickle-cell anemia is a genetic disorder, so you can only get it by being born with it. Sickle-cell anemia is much more prevalent in people of African descent because of its evolutionary advantage in regions where malaria is common. While having sickle-cell anemia is clearly detrimental to survival, having only one allele (instead of both) of the gene coding for sickle-cell anemia results in higher tolerance to the effects of malaria once infected with it. The greater number of people having only one allele leads to greater chance of their offspring having both, resulting in sickle-cell disease.
Does sickle cell animia help you?
No it doesn't help you it affects you in every way... If you go out side you have to pile up with clothes even if its hot because if you get sick or get a minor cut you can get seriously ill.
