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.

Animals survive in deserts by living underground or resting in burrows during the heat of the day. Some creatures get the moisture they need from their food, so they don't need to drink much water, if any. Others live along the edges of deserts, where there are more plants and shelter.

Even though deserts don't get much rain, the desert is a habitat for some plants and animals. Each species has adapted to be able to live in a range of temperatures and without much water. ... Animals that live in deserts include lizards, geckos, toads, jackrabbits, camels, snakes, spiders and meerkats.
