Sickle cell anemia is caused by an abnormal hemoglobin in red blood cells. hemoglobin is the red pigment found in red blood cells for carrying oxygen.The abnormality arises from a genetic mutation in the DNA gene that codes for the  beta chain of the protein called globin of which hemoglobin is made of.In the beta chain, the sixth amino acid called glutamine is replaced by another one called valine.<span>This one change in the amino acids cause the hemoglobin protein  to behave abnormally, causing  red blood cells to lose their normal spherical shape and become bent like a sickle, hence the name "sickle cell" anemia</span>

When carrying out the Gram stain procedure, adding too little or too much alcohol to the sample is a common mistake. Suppose a s
Anarel [89]

Answer:

In the decolorization step alcohol is used which destain the gram-negative bacteria but not gram-positive because alcohol degrades the LPS cell wall of gram-negative bacteria which allow the crystal violet to moves out of the cell.

So if we use too little alcohol then the alcohol will not able to decolorize all the gram-negative bacteria and most of the cell in the culture will appear violet or purple because crystal violet retained in the cell wall of bacteria.

So the sample of gram-negative bacteria will appear as gram-positive bacteria under the microscope.
