Answer: Sickle cell anemia

The formation of abnormal hemoglobin that distorts certain blood cells is a condition called sickle cell anemia. It has a crescent shape resembling to a sickle that makes it sticky, rigid, and prone to being trapped in small vessels that blocks the blood from reaching to different parts of the body. 

In addition, this is a genetic disease of the red blood cells with an autosomal recessive condition and you need to have two copies of the gene to have the disease.

The answer is Sickle cell anemia. It is a condition that results in the formation of the abnormal hemoglobin. It is an inherited form in which the healthy red blood cells cannot carry enough oxygen all throughout one's body then.

What are the advantages and limitations to using fossils to study the living things that lived in the past?​
ollegr [7]

~Hello

Fossils are one of the best evidence of evolution, mainly because they are the remains of living organisms from the past, which allow us to compare them with living organisms. However, the fossil record is notoriously incomplete and it is also biased in favor of animals with hard body parts, such as skeletons and shells. Soft bodied organisms and soft body parts are rarely preserved and there are often huge gaps in some evolutionary sequences. For example, Archaeopteryx is the earliest known bird, but it is already a bird, nothwithstanding some of the features that are unquestionably reptilian. The earliest known reptile with feathers is Longisquama, but there is a gap of some 75 million years between Longisquama and Archaeopteryx, and nothing has yet been found that are intermediate between these two important fossils.

Finally, DNA is virtually unobtainable from fossils, making it nearly impossible to compare the DNA of most fossils with living organisms. In terms of phylogenetic tree construction, DNA data is far superior to fossil evidence. However, if not for the existence of fossils, DNA data alone would be unconvincing as evidence of evolutionary change.

The main portion of the cell is called the soma or cell body. It contains the nucleus, which in turn contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes. Neurons have a large number of extensions called dendrites.
