It's not sickle-cell itself, but rather being a heterozygous carrier of the disease. People with one dominant and one recessive allele for the disease are immune to malaria without the crippling effects of having sickle-cell anemia. I don't think that it can even represent codominance, though.
What else can I help you with?
The genetic disorder sickle cell disease is an example of heterozygous dominance?
Sickle cell disease is an example of codominance, not heterozygous dominance. In individuals who are heterozygous for the sickle cell allele, they exhibit a milder form of the disease called sickle cell trait, which demonstrates codominance of the normal and mutant hemoglobin alleles.
If two dominant alleles are expressed at the same time this is a case of what?
This is called codominance. In codominance, both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype of the individual.
What is it when two alleles are both equally dominant and will both show up?
codominance
What and what Are similar because the heterozygous phenotype is different from the homozygous dominant phenotpe?
Incomplete Dominance and Codominance.
What is it where both traits are shown in the phenotype?
Codominance
What ethnic group is greatly affected by sicklecell?
African American and Hispanic are greatly affect by sicklecell.
Can you go into the Navy with sicklecell?
No
Is tay sachs disease a disease of codominance?
Yes Tay Sachs disease is a disease of codominance. If you have one defective form of the Hex-A gene, you will be able to function normally and will not have the disease. This is because you still create enough of the enzyme to function normally but it is only being produced at 50% the rate of someone with two normal Hex-A genes.
How can you use the word codominance in a sentence?
The cats were codominance

Is sickle cell an example of codominance in genetics?
Yes, sickle cell anemia is an example of codominance in genetics.
What is the shared dominance?
codominance
What is the opposite of codominance?
The opposite of codominance would be ordinary dominance (the expression of a dominant gene over a recessive one).
What and what Are similar because the heterozygous phenotype is different from the homozygous dominant phenotpe?
Incomplete Dominance and Codominance.
What is the difference between dominant and Codominance?
The difference between dominant and codominance is power, influence and importance which defines the word dominant. Codominance is an allele gene individuals receive by both parents which is two versions of a gene in relationship to each other.
