question 1
Part A: What is the genotype of sickle cell anemia?
Part B: What is the phenotype of sickle cell trait? What is the genotype of sickle cell trait?
Please include any sources you used to answer these two parts
Homework Answers
Part A: The genotype of sickle cell anemia- Homozygous HbSS.
Part B: The genotype of Sickle cell trait: Heterozygous HbAS.
The phenotype of Sickle cell trait: Heterozygous,Recessive
At the sickle cell locus, two predominant alleles are there: the A allele and S allele.
The combination of these two alleles represents an individual genotype.
The individual with genotype AS have the sickle cell trait phenotype.
The individual with genotype SS have the sickle cell anemia phenotype.

In humans, sickle-cell anemia is caused by a recessive lethal allele Hbs. A healthy allele is denoted by Hba. Following is a table that shows the three possible genotypes, with the associated phenotypes. Genotype Phenotype Hba Hba Healthy (no sign of disease) HbaHbs Healthy (no sign of disease) Hbs Hbs Shows symptoms of sickle-cell anemia What is the probability of two heterozygous individuals giving birth to a child who has a sickle-cell allele, but shows a healthy phenotype?

6. Sickle cell anemia (disease) is described as an autosomal recessive condition (individuals must have two copies of the recessive allele to display “sickle cell disease”). However, sickle cell trait (the heterozygous condition) has a unique phenotype. a. How would you classify/describe sickle cell trait at the organismal level (complete, incomplete, or co-dominance)? Explain your reasoning. b. How would you classify/describe sickle cell trait at the molecular level (complete, incomplete, or co-dominance)? Explain your reasoning. (HINT: think about the hemoglobin...

Properties of oxyhemoglobin are severely affected by HbS substitution c. Both alleles in hemoglobin beta-chain (HbB) gene are mutated in a full-blown condition d.

2. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium; chi-square test Sickle cell anemia is a recessive disorder caused by a recessive mutation (S) in the b-hemoglobin gene. 80% of affected SS individuals die before reproducing. Heterozygotes (AS) and homozygous dominant (AA) individuals do not have sickle cell anemia. The table below shows the number of people of each genotype in a population of 100 people in population of Cameroon. Observed # individuals in a Cameroon population AA AS SS 62 32 6 What are the...

Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is the result of a type of mutation in the gene that codes for part of the hemoglobin molecule. Recall that hemoglobin carries oxygen in your red blood cells. The mutation causes these red blood cells to become stiff & sickle-shaped when they release their oxygen. The sickled cells tend to get stuck in blood vessels, causing pain and increased risk of stroke, blindness, damage to the heart & lungs, and other conditions. Analyze...

Sickle-cell Anemia Study Sickle-cell anemia or Sickle-cell disease, is a hereditary disorder. characterized by aryabnormality in the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecule in erythrocytes. Sickle-cell conditions have an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance from parents. The sickle cell defect is a mutation of a single nucleotide of the hemoglobin B gene, which results in glutamic acid being substituted by a different amino acid at position 6. Hemoglobin with this mutation is referred to as Hbs, as opposed to the normal hemoglobin HbA....

A mutation in one of the hemoglobin genes causes sickle cell anemia. The sickle cell allele, S, severely reduces fitness in people who are homozygotes, SS. In contrast, people with at least one normal hemoglobin allele, A, do not suffer the effects of sickle cell anemia, even if the individual is a heterozygote, AS. Interestingly, though, in areas with a high rate of malaria, heterozygotes that carry the sickle cell allele have a higher fitness than do individuals that are...
