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.
What cell mutation can be inherited?
Sickle cell anemia is an example of a cell mutation that can be inherited.
What are the odds from dying from sickle cell anemia?
This is inherited and only African Americans have it.
Is anemia a genetic disorder?
Anemia is a broad disorder that literally translates as 'no blood'. In medical practice, anemia is a condition in which there are insufficient normal red blood cells to provide oxygen to the body tissues. Anemia can be caused by a wide variety of things: large volume blood loss, infection, cancer and toxins can all result in various types of anemia. There are also genetic causes of anemia. Two commonly discussed genetic anemias are sickle cell anemia and hemophilia-related anemia. Sickle cell anemia developed in Africa, where malaria parasites are common. A heterozygous individual has about 15% abnormal red blood cells that are crescent-shaped and don't transport oxygen well. Hemophilia was traced to a point mutation in the English royal line in the Middle Ages, which then spread throughout Europe via marriage among the royal houses. Hemophilia actually results in blood that does not clot properly, which can result in anemia due to chronic blood loss through hemorrhages.
Does the environment play a role in sickle cell anemia?
no, sickle cell is an inherited blood disorder.
What is the difference between anemia and hemophilia?
Anemia is a generic term referring to "inadequate oxygen capacity in the blood"; anemia can be caused by anything from excessive blood loss to parasites on the red blood cells to inadequate red blood cell formation in the bone marrow. Hemophilia is a more specific term referring to "inadequate blood clotting capacity"; there are multiple types of hemophilia but they are all bleeding disorders. It is very common for people with hemophilia to develop anemia. However, very few people who have anemia also have hemophilia.

How does anemia spread?
Anemia isn't a contagious disease but it is a disease you can inherit from your family members.
What are sickle cell anemia and hemophilia?
They are both genetic blood disorders, which are inherited from the parents.Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for hemoglobin. If a person has inherited the mutation, their bone marrow will produce sticky, sickle-shaped red blood cells, which cause a wide array of issues.Hemophilia is another blood disorder that is inherited from the parents, but in a different and more complicated way. Hemophiliacs (people suffering from hemophilia) have a problem with blood clotting. They will always bruise easily, and when they bleed, the blood might not clot unless certain actions are taken.Both diseases affect the blood, and are life long. There are currently no effective cures for them.
Sickle cell anemia and some nerve and brain disorders are examples of which of these?
