- One of your patients, a six-year-old girl who suffers from Sickle cell anemia, an inherited blood disorder in which red blood cells are abnormally shaped and fragile, leading to a short supply of red blood cells. These abnormal cells can also get stuck in small vessels, which prevent blood flow, leading to fatigue, pain and other severe complications. Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. Neither of your patient's parents has sickle cell anemia. What is the most likely genotype of her parents? (The normal beta-globin allele is abbreviated as B, and the abnormal allele as b.) one is B and one is b one is BB and one is bb both are Bb both are bb both are BBarrow_forwardSelect two of the following diseases and discuss cause, predisposing factors and identify if it is considered a Genetic Disease or a Congenital defect: 1) Phenylketonuria 2) Cystic fibrosisarrow_forwardHereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. A. Symptoms of hereditary hemochromatosis include fatigue, joint pain, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, skin discoloration, delayed puberty in males, and premature menopause in women. All of these symptoms result a single mutation in a specific gene. Name and define this genetic phenomenon and explain how it relates to this specific genetic situation described above.arrow_forward
