How can sickle-cell disease be treated?
Stem cell or bone marrow transplants are the only cure for sickle cell disease
How do doctors diagnose sickle cell disease?
bone marrow transplant is the only known cure of sickle cell disease.
What can you do to prevent your chances of getting sickle cell disease?
Sickle cell can not be "caught". It is an inherited genetic disease and is only in the African American community.
Can a person who has been successfully treated for sickle cell disease still transmit the disease-causing allele to offspring?
Sickle-cell anemia can only be transmitted if both partners have the disease.
What is the disease that attacks only negroes?
Malaria or sickle-cell anemia?
How does sickle-cell trait differ from sickle-cell disease?
in sickle cell trait you don't actually have the disease. you are only able to pass the disease to your kids if you marry a person with sickle cell or that also has the trait. sickle cell disease is when you actually have the disease. you can pass it to your kids if you marry someone with the trait or the disease. if you marry someone without a trait or disease then your kids will most likely have the trait.
Can children get sickle cell?
Only if they have 2 parents with the trait(gene) or disease
What is in the center of every cell?
The nucleus is typically found in the center of animal cells, containing the cell's genetic material. Plant cells often have a large central vacuole in the center, surrounded by the nucleus and other organelles.
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.
What races get sicle cell disease?
any race can get it they say only african americans but i know a venezulan that has it
Suppose you want to produce a plant cultivar that has red flowers and speckled leaves you have two cultivars each having one of the desired traits how would you proceed?
Cross polinate the two cultivars. Plant the seeds produced. You should then have plants that exhibit traits where some have speckled leaves with non-red flowers, some have non red flowers with no speckled leaves, some have red flowers with non speckled leaves and some have red flowers with speckled leaves.Cross polinate the red flowers with speckled leaves with each other only, plant the seeds and repeat until you repeatedly get only red flowers with speckled leaves.
Would a karyotype reveal the presence of sickle-cell disease Why or why not?
From my own opinion:I believe that a Karotype would NOT reveal the presence of sickle-cell disease because a karotype only shows pictures of all the chromosomes in a cell..But sickle-cell disease causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped. So, basically, it involves red blood cells, not chromosomes.
