Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

The pleiotropic is a type of genetic behaviour which influence and affect more than one trait. Sickle cell anemia disease is a type of pleiotropism. In sickle cell anaemia patients, haemoglobin A is entirely replaced with haemoglobin S. Such patients have the genotype HBs HBs. Heterozygotes who carry the sickle cell gene HBa HBs are said to have a condition called sickle cell trait thus the expression of two different genotypes by one single gene indicates pleiotropism.

Haemoglobin S crystallizes when oxygen concentration is low in capillaries making the red blood cells to assume a crescent or sickle shape. Such cells transport oxygen very poorly leading to anaemia.

What is relationship among the location of volcanues,earthquake epicenter,and mauntain ranges?
Korolek [52]
Volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain ranges are all results of the tectonic movement of the Earth. 
<span>When two plates collide and one does not completely give way and go under the other the crust is pushed up forming mountain ranges. 
</span>An earthquake is the shaking and vibration of the Earth's crust due to movement<span> of the Earth's </span>plates<span> (plate </span>tectonics<span>).
</span>And volcano is created <span>when </span>plates<span> are pushed together or pulled apart.
So, the relationship between volcanoes, earthquakes and mountain ranges is their connection with the tectonic movement of the Earth.</span>
