Sickle cell is a sex-linked trait, If some one is a carrier than the trait is passed down on that chromosome.

It is not an aneuploidy.

What is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder of the blood where an individuals red blood cells are sickle shaped rather than disk shaped?
C. Sickle-cell anemia
Sickle-cell anemia is a disease passed by autosomal recessive inheritance. What is the likelihood that a person who has two parents with the disease will be a carrier of the defective gene?
It is 100% possible that a person who has two parents with the disease will be a carrier of the defective gene.
Is Sickle cell anemia inherited?
This is inherited on the X chromoseome and is recessive. This means a female (who has XX chromosome pair) can only express the disease if she carries the trait on both chromosomes. This is because of the recessive nature of the gene. A male can only inherit the disease from his mother. This is he must have obtained his Y chromosome from his father so he obtains the X chromosome from his mother. A male cannot carry the gene without expressing it as he doesnt have another X chromosome to supress the recessive gene. ^ This answer is biologically incorrect because Sickle cell Anemia is actually autosomal recessive, not sex-linked recessive; this means that males and females are affected equally and it is NOT carried on the X chromosome. In order for the trait to show up in an individual, BOTH parents must be carriers of the disease (at least 1 sickle cell gene must be present).
What does AS and SS under blood group mean?
Under blood group, the letters AS and SS are used in reference to sickle cell disease. AC means that one is carrying the sickle cell disease gene while SS means that one has sickle cell disease.
Is sickle sell disease acute or chronic?
I have always known it as a chronic disease
Is sickle cell disease a chromosomal abnormality?
sickle cell is an autosomal recessive disorder
Is sickle cell anemia genetic or environmental?
Sickle cell anemia is genetic. It is an autosomal recessive disease.
Is sickle cell anemia recessive or dominant?
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease. Carriers have sickle cell trait, which confers resistance to malaria.
What disease is autosomal and results in a mishapen cell that clog capillaries?
sickle cell
Is sickle cell anemia an autoimmune disease?
Sickle Cell Anemia is Autosomal Recessive. It arises from a mutation on the beta-globin gene of chromosome 11. Because Sickle Cell Anemia is an example of incomplete dominance, a person has the disease if they have two mutated beta-globin genes but only has the trait (is a carrier) if they have only one mutated beta-globin gene.
What is sickle cell Trait The condition is Autosomal and there is Codominance between alleles what does this mean?
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!!
Compare the inheritance of Huntingtons disease with the inheritance of sickle cell anemia?
Huntingtons disease is Autosomal dominant, i.e. a 50% chance of inheritance if one parent has the gene. Where as sickle cell anemia is autosomal recessive. This gives a 25% chance of inheritance if both parents are carriers.
Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
Is sickle cell anemia a sex link trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.

What is the method of transmission of the sickle cell gene?
