Sickle Cell Anemia is a mutated hemoglobin gene. It is possible to only have one affected gene, and be a carrier. That means that your future children would have a chance of getting Sickle Cell Anemia if their father also was a carrier.]]> 2022-03-30 16:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tmitacek2461/xklotou88bwnfg70/wish/2121826117 Why is this an important mutation? icamptaylor6122 https://padlet.com/tmitacek2461/xklotou88bwnfg70/wish/2121832956 This is an important mutation because it is both helpful and harmful mutation because it can cause blood clots. If you have sickle cell in Africa it can make you immune to malaria.]]> 2022-03-30 16:13:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tmitacek2461/xklotou88bwnfg70/wish/2121832956 SICKLE CELL ANEMIA icamptaylor6122 https://padlet.com/tmitacek2461/xklotou88bwnfg70/wish/2121838662 CREATED BY: Isabelle Camp-Taylor, Taya Mitacek,and Kelsey Iiams]]> 2022-03-30 16:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tmitacek2461/xklotou88bwnfg70/wish/2121838662 Helpful,Harmful,or Neutral? icamptaylor6122 https://padlet.com/tmitacek2461/xklotou88bwnfg70/wish/2123901387 For this mutation to be helpful it would be determined by where you live.For instance if you lived in Africa or a country with a high malaria rate it could be extremely useful,due to the fact you would be immune.If you had sickle cell anemia in America it would be harmful because we do not have malaria because we have screens and available vaccines.  ]]> 2022-03-31 15:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tmitacek2461/xklotou88bwnfg70/wish/2123901387
