Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding hemoglobin, causing red blood cells to appear



Answer :

Answer:

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in both copies of a person's HBB gene. This gene encodes a component of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. The mutation causes hemoglobin molecules to stick together, creating sickle-shaped red blood cells.
