There's no picture.

Sickle cell anemia results from a mutation in a gene called HBB, which contains the blueprint for cells to make part of a protein called hemoglobin. The hemoglobin protein is made up of two alpha chains and two beta chains.

Sickle cell anemia is the result of a point mutation, a change in just one nucleotide in the gene for hemoglobin. This mutation causes the hemoglobin in red blood cells to distort to a sickle shape when deoxygenated. The sickle-shaped blood cells clog in the capillaries, cutting off circulation.

Charra [1.4K]
The sequence that correctly describes the route that an egg takes through the female reproductive system would be option d. Ovary - Fallopian tube - Uterus. The mature egg is released by the ovary into the Fallopian Tube. Once it is fertilized, it is embedded in the wall of the uterus and this is where the unborn baby develops.
