Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there aren’t enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body. These rigid, sticky cells can get stuck in small blood vessels, which can slow or block blood flow and oxygen to parts of the body.

The Sickle cell disease is a genetically inherited deformed cell. These cells are deformed into crescent shaped moons. This is serious and can lead to blood clots. Since these cells are deformed, they usually can’t fit in the capillaries aka tubes that carry blood throughout your body. These sells can block the entrances to the capillaries and cause blood flow to stop being transferred from one area of the body to another.

How can you determine that a star is about to turn into a red giant?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

When the inner core shrinks and the outer atmosphere expands thereby giving red color to the star.

Explanation:

When the hydrogen with in the core of a  star gets exhausted, the nuclear reactions taking place in the inner core move outwards towards the atmosphere of the star in search of fuel. Due to this, the star expands and become cool and red. This process continues till the star convert into red giant and all the available fuel (hydrogen) is consumed.  

Due to expanding atmosphere,  the inner core starts shrinking due to gravity. The pressure and temperature also increases  in the middle till nuclear fission starts again but this time it will use helium instead of hydrogen.

Characteristics of a Asian clam
Kobotan [32]

A small light-colored bivalve with shell ornamented by distinct, concentric sulcations, anterior and posterior lateral teeth with many fine serrations. Dark shell morphs exist but are limited to the southwestern United States. The light-colored shell morph has a yellow-green to light brown periostracum and white to light blue or light purple nacre while the darker shell morph has a dark olive green to black periostracum and deep royal blue nacre (McMahon 1991). . (2001) reported yellow and brown shell color morphs among specimens collected from Sichuan Province in China. The shells of the yellow morphs were straw yellow on the outside and white on the inside; those of brown morphs were dark brown and purple, respectively. Further analyses revealed that the yellow and brown morphs are triploid and tetraploid, respectively.
