Can Hemoglobin Levels cause HIV?
HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. It does not result from abnormal hemoglobin or abnormal hemoglobin levels.
What is the medical term meaning genetic disorder that causes red blood cells to assume an unusual shape and produce abnormal hemoglobin proteins?
sickle-cell disease
What incorrect sequencing causes sickle-cell anemia?
Hemoglobin.
What are the causes of the conginital form of mehtemoglobinemia?
One cause is a defect in the body's systems to reduce methemoglobin to hemoglobin. The other cause is a mutant form of hemoglobin called hemoglobin M that cannot bind to oxygen.
What does a low hemoglobin measurement mean?
There are many ways in which a low hemoglobin can occur. Among these include young ladies in their menstruating cycle, pregnant women, blood donating frequently, wounds, nosebleeds, Aplastic Anemia, Cirrhosis, Leukemia, etc. Low hemoglobin usually occurs because the body is too slow to produce more red blood cells, but do not be alarmed yet, go to a doctor before anything. Sometimes a low hemoglobin is actually normal for some people.
Define anemia and give three possible causes?

What is hemoglobin carry to the cell?
Hemoglobin carries oxygen to the body's tissues. It is found in erythrocytes.
Why does the blood on a cockroach appear colorless?
If you mean why isn't a cockroaches blood red, it is because they do not use hemoglobin to carry the oxygen in their blood. Hemoglobin is what causes blood to be red.
What is the molecular basis for the difference in the electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S?
The difference in electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S is due to a single amino acid substitution. In hemoglobin S, a glutamic acid is replaced by a valine at position 6 of the beta-globin chain. This change causes hemoglobin S to have a different charge, leading to its characteristic migration pattern on electrophoresis.
What are the factors that affect hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?
The primary factor that determines how much oxygen is actually bound to hemoglobin is the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the hemoglobin solution.
How does sickle cell hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin?
Sickle cell hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin due to a mutation in the gene that codes for the hemoglobin protein. This mutation leads to the production of an abnormal hemoglobin variant (HbS) that causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped, leading to various complications such as blockages in blood vessels and reduced oxygen delivery to tissues.
Can bacteria causes disease?
Less then 1 percent cause disease. Disease causing bacteria produce toxins- powerful chemicals that damage cells and make you ill.
