What are 2 genetic disorders caused by point mutation?
sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia

all of them are caused by genetic mutations
Does sickle cell anaemia have white blood cells?
Sickle Cell Anaemia is a genetic disorder that affects the red blood cells. The shape of the cells are changed from being round and flexible to sickle or crescent shaped. These abnormal cells can then clog the blood vessels, causing extreme pain and discomfort. These episodes are known as sickle cell crisis.
Why are not Americans affected with sickle cell anaemia?
natural selection and heredity Americans are affected with sickle cell anaemia which mostly affects black people.
What is a disease caused by misshapen proteins?
Sickle cell anaemia is such a genetic disease. The sixth amino acid in the beta chain of haeme which is glutamic acid in normal people gets replaced by valine in sickle cell anaemia patients. This simple change in the amino acid sequence results in the the sickle shape of RBCs
What is glutamate replaced by in sickle cell anemia?
Hi, Glutamate is replaced by valine in sickle cell anaemia
Where in the world are the most cases of Malaria and Sickle Cell anaemia?
Malaria is common in topical ad subtropical zones. The malaria has selected the people with sickle cell anaemia. Although person with sickle cell anemia can have malaria, the carrier, or the person with sickle cell trait is resistant to malaria.
Can you explain what evolutionary advantage mean and how it accounts for why sickle cell anaemia is still so widespread in Africa?
evolutionary advantage means that if you have to types of sickle cell anaemia and one is resistant to a drug the the other one is not then the one that is not resistant dies off and the sickle cell anaemia that is resistant becomes dominant and that is why sickle cell anaemia is still so widespread in Africa because the strain that is widespread in Africa is resistant is anti-biotics.
What is the symptoms of cycle cell?
I think you are referring to 'sickle - celled anaemia' (genetic condition resulting in abnormal red blood cell shape). The cell cycle is a perfectly normal and essential process.
Is Sickle cell anemia genetic?
Yes, Sickle Cell Anemia is in fact a genetic disorder.
Is sickle cell anemia genetic or environmental?
Sickle cell anemia is genetic. It is an autosomal recessive disease.
How does sickle cell anaemia cured?
Sorry there is no cure only treatment.
