Given below is the representation of a relevant part of amino acid composition of the beta -chain of haemoglobin, related to the shape of human red blood cells. (a) Is this representation of the sequence of amino acids indicating a normal human or a sufferer from a certain blood related genetic disease ? Give reason in support of your answer. (b) Why is the disease referred to as a Mendelian disorder ? Explain.

The cause of chromosomal disorders is absence or excess of abnormal arrangement of one of more chromosomes. Analysis of karyotypes is used to study the chromosomal disorders. l(aryotype is defined as the profile of an individual's chromosomes that are arranged according to their shape, size and number.

On the basis of your reading, answer the following questions: Name the syndrome from which the given individual might be suffering. Describe it along with its symptoms.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder where the body produces an abnormal hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. Red blood cells are normally flexible and round, but when the hemoglobin is defective, blood cells take on a “sickle” or crescent shape. Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in a gene called HBB. It is an inherited blood disorder that occurs if both the maternal and paternal copies of the HBB gene are defective. In other words, if an individual receives just one copy of the defective HBB gene, either from mother or father, then the individual has no sickle cell anemia but has what is called “sickle cell trait”. People with sickle cell trait usually do not have any symptoms or problems but they can pass the mutated gene onto their children. There are three inheritance scenarios that can lead to a child having sickle cell anemia: - Both parents have sickle cell trait - One parent has sickle cell anemia and the other has sickle cell trait - Both parents have sickle cell anemia If one parent has sickle cell anemia and the other has sickle cell trait, there is __________that their children will have sickle cell anemia and ___________will have sickle cell trait.
