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>

How did scientific names impact classification
Zanzabum
Actually, the names don't affect the classification at all - it does not matter how something is called, as it does not change its characteristics. 

The classification of organism is based on their evolution and characteristics and it's a scientific consensus based on the data. Names don't impact it at all. 

However, to increase understanding in science, scientist made the names after the place in the classification - so the scientific classification determines the names (but not the other way round). 

Most offten you can tell how an animal is classified from the name, but only because it was named after this classification.
