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>

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Le châtelier's principle states that if a stress is applied to a system in dynamic equilibrium, the system changes to relieve the stress.

Explanation:

This principle shows that when we change a system in equilibrium, it will seek to acquire a new state that nullifies this disturbance. Thus, there is a displacement of equilibrium, that is, a search for a new equilibrium situation, favoring one of the senses of the reaction. If it favors the direct reaction, with formation of more product, we say that the equilibrium has shifted to the right. However, it is said that it shifted to the left if the reverse reaction was favored, with formation of reagents.
