it is important because it is an infected cell and your body cant neutralize it. but, it trys and lowers defences against deasies. also sickle cell can spread
Spherocytosis
ITS GOOD 4 UR SICKLE CELL! When you have sickle cell, your body looses cells. Folic acid helps to create new cells.
Anyone of any race can get sickle cell
A child has to receive the gene from both parents to heve sickle cell anemia. if only one parent passes on the gene, then the child will have sickle cell trait, but no symptoms of sickle cell anemia.
no you can get sickle cell trait from kissing its not contagous
The shape of the cell is misshapen.
It is important to note that sickle-cell anemia comes in two forms. The homozygous sickle-cell anemia and the heterozygous sickle-cell trait. The difference between the two is that sickle-cell anemia has a high rate death rate at a young age (20~), and the sickle-cell trait is nearly asymptomatic.In regions such as North America, sickle-cell anemia would be selected against and would eventually leave the gene pool. The sickle-cell trait on the other hand, has little effect on the fitness of the organism, and as such will remain in the gene pool.In malaria endemic regions such as sub-Sahara Africa, sickle-cell anemia provides very high levels of immunity to malaria and the sickle-cell trait provides a slightly lesser level of immunity. Both forms of sickle-cell will increase the organisms fitness and as such, it will remain in the gene pool. Further on, the sickle-cell trait has greater fitness than sickle-cell anemia, hence, the sickle-cell trait will be selected as the fittest allele.If s is the sickle-cell allele and S is a normal allele;The relative fitness in malaria endemic regions;Ss > ss > SSSickle-cell trait > Sickle-cell anemia > NormalThe relative fitness in non-malaria endemic regions;SS > Ss > ssNormal > Sickle-cell trait > Sickle-cell anemia
Sickle Cell....... My son has been diagnosed with sickle cell trait. We are white and the doctors called it Sickle Cell Trait! hope this helps...
Although Sickle Cell Anemia sufferer's often have a shorter life expectancy, infants do not usually die from it. However it is important to get blood tranfusions.
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
The sickle cell trait is that you dont have the whole thing you have half of it which is called the trait
Yes.

A person can only inherit sickle-cell genes if some of their ancestors came from certain regions in Africa where the inhabitants carry sickle-cell genes. A person with one sickle-cell gene has sickle-cell trait, a milder problem. If both father and mother pass on sickle-cell genes, the child, with two genes, will have sickle-cell disease.
