6th amino acid is changed in haemoglobin chain due to a recessive mutation on beta haemoglobin producing gene
rr since sickle cell is a recessive trait.
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.
The DNA code for normal hemoglobin is the gene that encodes for the production of the protein hemoglobin. The sequence of this gene includes instructions for building the alpha and beta globin chains that make up the hemoglobin protein. This gene is located on chromosome 11 in humans.
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.
A red blood cell that contains normal amounts of hemoglobin is called a normocytic red blood cell.

For an infant, normal hemoglobin is 14-22 g/dL
loss of only one amino acid from the normal hemoglobin molecule
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.
Normal levels of hemoglobin for neonates are 17 - 22 g/dl.
Normal levels of hemoglobin for adult females past menopause are 11.7 - 13.8 g/dl.
The normal hemoglobin level ranges from 12-18 grams per deciliter. Above normal hemoglobin levels may result in dehydration, excess production of rbc in bone marrow and other conditions.
Normal Hemoglobin levels in a Male is 13.8 to 17.2 gm/dL but this can vary based on various labs and what they consider to be the normal range.
For adult males the normal hemoglobin values are from 14-18 grams/deciliter. For adult females the normal hemoglobin values are from 12-16 grams/deciliter. I don't know how these values could be expressed as percents.
