Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Sickle cell anaemia is caused by a mutation in a gene called haemoglobin beta (HBB), located on chromosome 11

It is a recessive genetic disease, which means that both copies of the gene must contain the mutation for a person to have sickle cell anaemia.

If an individual has just one copy of the mutated gene they are said to be a carrier of the sickle cell trait.

If both parents are carriers there is a chance their child could be born with sickle cell anaemia.
