Answer: The correct answer is Sickle cell anemia.  

Sickle cell anemia is caused due to point mutation in the beta- globin chain of hemoglobin molecule. This causes the hemoglobin molecule to distort and the shape of the red blood cells resembles to sickle shape.

The sickle shaped cells can block the blood circulation and the circulation of oxygen is also disrupted in this case.

Severe anemia may trigger an adaptive conversion of yellow bone marrow to red bone marrow.

Anaemia is defined as the decrease or the reduction of the oxygen carrying content of the blood which are the red blood cells.

These red blood cells and other blood cells which include the white blood cells and the platelets are produced in the body by the bone marrows by a process called haemopoiesis.

The bone marrow is divided into two:

  • yellow bone marrow and
  • red bone marrow.

The red bone marrow is made up of stem cells which can be converted to red cells when the need arises while yellow bone marrow is made up of fat.

During health conditions such as anaemia, there is increase in the need of red blood cells by the body.

There is usually the conversation of yellow bone marrow to red bone marrow to compensate for the increased demand of red blood cells.

This conversation is called an adaptive conversation.

Therefore,Severe anemia may trigger an adaptive conversion of yellow bone marrow to red bone marrow.
