Having one sickle cell gene (a condition known as sickle cell trait) can be beneficial in certain contexts. It provides some protection against malaria, particularly in regions where the disease is prevalent, as the presence of the sickle cell trait makes it more difficult for the malaria parasite to survive in the bloodstream. However, individuals with sickle cell trait typically do not experience the severe health complications associated with sickle cell disease, which occurs when both genes are inherited. Thus, while the trait can offer some advantage in specific environments, it does not confer the same risks as the disease itself.
