3 Questions
What is the main cause of sickle cell anemia?
Structural abnormalities in the hemoglobin chains
What is the difference between hemoglobinopathies and thalassemias?
Hemoglobinopathies involve abnormal production of hemoglobin chains, while thalassemias involve normal production but decreased amount of hemoglobin chains
What is the difference between heterozygous and homozygous inheritance of abnormal genes for hemoglobin production?
Heterozygous inheritance leads to normal hemoglobin production, while homozygous inheritance leads to abnormal hemoglobin production
