Normal red blood cells slide easily through narrow blood vessels. In sickle cell disease, many red blood cells change to a cresc

ent shape like a slender moon. Crescent-shaped blood cells cause blockages in blood vessels. These blockages decrease the transport of oxygen. People with sickle cell disease often have sharp pains due to the lack of oxygen in parts of the body.
Sickle cell disease is caused by an abnormal type of red blood cell gene inherited by the parents. What is the name for different forms of the same gene?

What is the grizzly bear?

The grizzly bear is a North American subspecies of the brown bear. Grizzlies are typically brown, though their fur can appear to be white-tipped, or grizzled, lending them their name. Grizzly bears are protected by law in the continental United States—not in Alaska—though there have been some controversial attempts to remove those protections in recent years.
