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 inherited as a dominant or recessive trait, and how does this inheritance pattern impact the likelihood of developing the condition?
Sickle cell anemia is inherited as a recessive trait. This means that a person needs to inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition. If only one copy of the gene is inherited, the person is a carrier but does not have the disease. This inheritance pattern impacts the likelihood of developing the condition because both parents must be carriers for there to be a chance of their child having sickle cell anemia.
Is sickle cell disease a blood cancer?
No, sickle cell disease is not cancerous.
Is you kiss do you get sickle cell disease?
No. Sickle Cell is not an infectious disease, but is genetic.
Sickle cell anemia is an example of what type of inheritance?

What are other names for sickle cell anemia?
Hemoglobin SS disease (Hb SS)
Is sickle cell anemia considered a codominant trait in genetic inheritance?
Yes, sickle cell anemia is considered a codominant trait in genetic inheritance.
What genetic disorder results in abnormally shaped blood?
Spherocytosis
How can sickle-cell disease be treated?
Stem cell or bone marrow transplants are the only cure for sickle cell disease
What is the inheritance of the sickle cell anemia?
autosomal recessive
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.
What is the mode of inheritance for sickle-cell anemia?
autosomal recessive
