What type of mutation causes sickle cells disease?
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease. People who have the disease inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene-one from each parent. The sickle cell gene causes the body to make abnormal hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color and carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. In sickle cell anemia, the hemoglobin sticks together when it delivers oxygen to the body's tissues. These clumps of hemoglobin are like liquid fibers. They cause the red blood cells to become stiff and shaped like a sickle, or "C." The sickled red blood cells tend to stick together and get caught in the blood vessels. (Other cells also may play a role in this process.) Two copies of the sickle cell gene are needed for the body to make the abnormal hemoglobin found in sickle cell anemia.
Why are are people with the sickle cell trait able to resist malaria?
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic diseases that causes red blood cells to be shaped like sickles while normal red blood cells are shaped more like a cylinder. Malaria works by going into the red blood cells until they burst. Because of the strange shape of the red blood cells in people who have sickle cell anemia, malaria can't enter in the cells that have the sickle trait, but it can enter in the others. This way, people with sickle cell wouldn't be as adversely effected then those without it.
