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
Is sickle cell anema a sex-linked gene?
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
What are the different types of sickle cell disease and how do they differ from each other?
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 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?
If both parents have sickle-cell anemia, their child will inherit one copy of the defective gene from each parent, making them a carrier. Thus, the likelihood that a person who has two parents with the disease will be a carrier of the defective gene is 100%.
Is sickle sell disease acute or chronic?
Sickle cell disease is a chronic condition characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin in red blood cells. This can lead to acute episodes of pain known as sickle cell crises, which are a common feature of the disease. Overall, sickle cell disease is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management and care.
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.
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.
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
Is sickle cell anemia a sex link trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
Is sickle cell passed on from mom or dad?
Sickle cell disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning a child must receive a copy of the sickle cell gene from both parents to have the disease. If both parents carry the sickle cell trait (one normal and one sickle cell gene), there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that their child will inherit the disease. Therefore, sickle cell can be passed on from either the mother or the father, or both.
What is the inheritance of the sickle cell anemia?
autosomal recessive
What if 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 or the defective gene?
If sickle cell anemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, a person with two parents who both have the disease will inherit two copies of the defective gene. Consequently, this individual cannot be a carrier; they will be affected by the disease. In this case, the likelihood of being a carrier is 0%, as they will have the genotype that expresses the disease rather than one that carries it without symptoms.
