Answer:

The correct answer would be option A. half moon shaped.

Explanation:

Sickle-cell anemia is a genetic disorder in which normal blood cells become rigid or stick and look like a crescent moon or half moon shape. In sickle-cell anemia condition, there are not sufficient healthy red blood cells or RBCs to carry enough oxygen throughout the body.

In sickle-cell anemia, the mutation causes a single change in the amino acid of hemoglobin, the building block of oxygen-transport protein. The alpha and beta subunits are the two subunits of hemoglobin. In sickle cell anemia, the beta subunit has valine at position 6 instead of glutamic acid that is present in normal hemoglobin.

Thus, the correct answer is option A. half moon shaped.

Codominance.

Codominance occurs when, for example, a Dominant Blue color gene for a leaf crosses with a Dominant White color gene for a leaf. The genotype would be BW. This would result in, for example, a blue and white spotted leaf color. INCOMPLETE dominance occurs when both dominant alleles blend together, resulting in, eg, a pale blue color resulting from the blue and white colors mixing.
