Yes, sickle cell anemia is an example of codominance in genetics.
One example of a beneficial mutation in genetics is the mutation that causes sickle cell anemia. This mutation provides some protection against malaria, making individuals with this mutation less susceptible to the disease.
There are several types of sickle cell disease, including sickle cell anemia, sickle beta thalassemia, and sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease. These types differ based on the specific genetic mutations that affect the hemoglobin protein in red blood cells. Sickle cell anemia is the most common and severe form, where individuals have two copies of the sickle cell gene. Sickle beta thalassemia and sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease are milder forms that result from different combinations of genetic mutations. Symptoms and complications can vary among the different types of sickle cell disease.
Sickle cell trait and sickle cell disease are both genetic conditions caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin gene. Sickle cell trait means a person carries one copy of the mutated gene, while sickle cell disease means a person has two copies. The key distinction is that individuals with sickle cell trait usually do not experience symptoms, while those with sickle cell disease can have severe health issues such as pain crises, anemia, and organ damage.
cystic fibrosis, ABO blood type Sickle Cell anemia and Albinism
yes - no its not because a sickle cell is basically a diseased cell that is shapped like a sickle.. a disease in bloodcell - it cannot get as much oxygen as healthy blood cells
Sickle cell disease is an example of codominance, not heterozygous dominance. In individuals who are heterozygous for the sickle cell allele, they exhibit a milder form of the disease called sickle cell trait, which demonstrates codominance of the normal and mutant hemoglobin alleles.
It's not sickle-cell itself, but rather being a heterozygous carrier of the disease. People with one dominant and one recessive allele for the disease are immune to malaria without the crippling effects of having sickle-cell anemia. I don't think that it can even represent codominance, though.
Genetics
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
sickle cell anemia
Yes. Sickle Cell is limited to people of darker skin , mostly of African descent.
sickle cell trait is inherited from one set of gene alleles from both parents. if you get two traits together it will cause sickle cell anemia which is a disease, sickle cell trait is not a disease. i dont know what autosomal means!! i dont know what codominance means!!

polygenic inheritance . doug says " squirrel". hes a fat dog.
