How is sickle cell anemia codominant?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Sickle cell anemia is a disease where red blood cells become thin and elongated. If a person has one copy of the sickle cell allele, half of their red blood cells will be misshapen. In this way, the allele is codominant, since both normal and sickled shapes are seen in the blood.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a INSULIN (PP) Test or Take a PROTEIN TOTAL - SERUM Test
