Hemoglobin is a molecule that carries oxygen through the body. When one has abnormally shaped hemoglobin clumps start occurring in the blood stream due to the odd shape of the cell. Since the sickle cells don't live for a long period of time, it causes a shortage of red blood cells. ]]> 2017-03-09 08:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/laila20/sicklecell/wish/158894683 Pedigree laila20 https://padlet.com/laila20/sicklecell/wish/158895685 Autosomal Recessive Trait]]> 2017-03-09 08:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/laila20/sicklecell/wish/158895685 Punnett Square laila20 https://padlet.com/laila20/sicklecell/wish/158895877 1/4 chance of Maria being a homozygous recessive individual.]]> 2017-03-09 08:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/laila20/sicklecell/wish/158895877 Blood Clots laila20 https://padlet.com/laila20/sicklecell/wish/159263542 2017-03-10 13:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/laila20/sicklecell/wish/159263542 Symptoms laila20 https://padlet.com/laila20/sicklecell/wish/159264521 Tiredness/Weakness

2) RBC in people that have SCD look like sickles since they have no oxygen.
3)Sickled blood cells go to areas of the body with more oxygen.
4)As the cells circulate the body they become more rigid.
