Answer:

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder where the body produces an abnormal hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Red blood cells are normally flexible and round, but when the hemoglobin is defective, blood cells take on a “sickle” or crescent shape. This causes the red blood cells to get stuck inside blood vessels and block blood flow and oxygen transport to some parts of the body, thereby causing sickle cell anemia.
