Bone marrow produces immature rbc and wbc’s which form the shape which later these blood cells develop throughout the body. sickle cell anemia is a blood issue in which the cells are shaped differently making blood clotting and production difficult, by getting a transplant to exchange this bone marrow which produces the premature blood cells can change how they develop. This can help the body form typical shaped red blood cells that function properly
