Sickle cell anaemia IS a disease of the leucocytes?
No, sickle cell anemia is a disease of the hemocytes, the red blood cells. Leucocytes are one type of white blood cell.
What is glutamate replaced by in sickle cell anemia?
In sickle cell anemia, glutamic acid is replaced by valine due to a single base change in the gene that codes for hemoglobin. This substitution causes the hemoglobin protein to form abnormal sickle-shaped red blood cells, leading to the symptoms of the disease.
How are sickle cell anemia and maleria the same?
They are definitely not the same. If you are looking for an answer to WHY sickle-cell anaemia is BENEFICIAL to those with malaria then follow this link,What_is_the_benefit_of_sickle_cell_anemia_to_Africans_with_malaria
What is the causative agent of sickle cell?
Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes for hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. This mutation results in the production of abnormal hemoglobin known as hemoglobin S, which causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped and less flexible.
What is an example of mutation?
The disease sickle cell anaemia occurs due to a mutation. This causes the amino acid glutamic acid (which is hydrophilic) in haemoglobin to be replaced by valine (which is hydrophobic).
Why are not Americans affected with sickle cell anaemia?
natural selection and heredity Americans are affected with sickle cell anaemia which mostly affects black people.
Where in the world are the most cases of Malaria and Sickle Cell anaemia?
Malaria is common in topical ad subtropical zones. The malaria has selected the people with sickle cell anaemia. Although person with sickle cell anemia can have malaria, the carrier, or the person with sickle cell trait is resistant to malaria.
Can you explain what evolutionary advantage mean and how it accounts for why sickle cell anaemia is still so widespread in Africa?
evolutionary advantage means that if you have to types of sickle cell anaemia and one is resistant to a drug the the other one is not then the one that is not resistant dies off and the sickle cell anaemia that is resistant becomes dominant and that is why sickle cell anaemia is still so widespread in Africa because the strain that is widespread in Africa is resistant is anti-biotics.
Can a disease cure a disease For example Can Cancer be cured by Sickle Cell Anemia?
well no cancer can not be cured by sickle celled anemia because sickle cell is the abnormalty of the shape of the cell.
What are the drugs contraindicated in sickle cell anaemia?
Most of them I would imagine.
How many people in the UK have sickle cell anaemia?
15000 people with sickle cell in the UK i think
Do people die from sickle cell anaemia?
20,000 people die with sickle cell each year
Is sickle cell anemia a single gene defect or multiple gene?
Sickle Cell Anaemia is a single gene defect (Hb gene).
Do red blood cells that cause sickle anaemia have cell organelles?
yes
Which is a degenerative disease atherosclerosis malaria rickets sickle cell anaemia?
antherosclerosis
Does sickle cell anaemia have white blood cells?
Sickle Cell Anaemia is a genetic disorder that affects the red blood cells. The shape of the cells are changed from being round and flexible to sickle or crescent shaped. These abnormal cells can then clog the blood vessels, causing extreme pain and discomfort. These episodes are known as sickle cell crisis.
Is sickle cell anemia an deficiency disease?
The sickle cell anaemia is not a deficiency disease. It is a hereditary disease caused by defective gene in both the parents.
