Answer: All the statements of the question are correct.

Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by formation of defective hemoglobin protein, which results in sickle shaped RBC ( red blood cell).

This disease is caused by mutation in the gene that is responsible for the protein hemoglobin ( which transport oxygen throughout body).

It is inherited by the offspring when both the mutated copy of genes ( one from each parent) are passed to him.

Carriers of the disease exhibit increased resistance to malarial parasites by controlling the level of free haem in the blood ( through enzyme heme oxygenase that produces a toxic carbon monoxide gas). The resistance thus developed, is a mutation.

Therefore, all the statements in the given question are correct.

They are typically greater then 8 molar masses. They typically have a quick main sequence phase, a short red supergiant phase and a death of a spectacular Cosmic event: Supernova. From there they can either become Neutron Stars or Black Holes

Medium-Sized Star

They usually have a Normal Main Sequence phase (Billions of years). From there they bevome Red Giants and expell their mass in a planetary nebula. From there they shrink and become white dwarfs first, then black dwarfs.
