Sickle Cell Anemia Danny Gardner and Merline Maxi 1/28/10 Period 9/10
2
Summary of Sickle Cell Anemia a disorder in the red blood cells causing them to be “sickle” shaped Prevents oxygen from reaching certain organs and blood cells going through blood vessels. Symptoms include: frequent infections, anemia, crises, delayed growth, strokes, and jaundice. Interesting Fact: People who have sickle cell have an average life span on 30 years Unlike normal red blood cells, which can live for 120 days, sickle-shaped cells live only 10 to 20 days.
3
What Chromosome is Sickle Cell located On? Located on chromosome eleven causes the hemoglobin molecules to form incorrectly giving blood cells its a crescent shape.
4
Mode of Inheritance Autosomal recessive pattern Both of the effected genes must be present in order for the organism to be diagnosed with the disease.
5
What Are Alleles? Genes in a chromosome for a specific feature. Each given by a parent

Punnett Square Examples SSSsSs SsSs ss SS ss Ss S s S S S S ss s s Heterozygous dominate Homozygous recessive Homozygous dominate
7
Explaining Probability S s S s Ratios Must equal up to total amount of possibilities Homozygous dominant : heterozygous dominant : homozygous recessive 12 1 : : 1 SS : 2 Ss : 1 ss Percentages Must equal up to 100 _p_ 100 Homozygous dominant: heterozygous dominant : homozygous recessive 25% : 50% : 25% 25% SS : 50% Ss : 25% ss

SS? Ss? ss? What these letters mean? If S is the dominant allele for Sickle cell and s in the recessive, we can infer that: Phenotype (what you SEE) SS- normal Ss-normal (Sickle cell trait) carrier ss- SICKLE CELL Genotype (what is in the GENES) SS-homozygous dominant Ss-heterozygous dominant ss- homozygous recessive SSSsSs SsSs ss S s S s

Genotype and Phenotype Probability SSSs ss S s S s Phenotype Ratios- 1 SICKLE CELL: 3 normal Percentages- 25% SICKLE CELL: % normal Genotype Ratios- 1 SS: 2 Ss: 1 ss Percentages- 25 % SS: 50% Ss: 25% ss

Student Practice S s S s Ss SS Ss ss 25% Sickle Cell: 75% normal Genotype: Percentage= Ratio=1 Sickle Cell: 3 normal Phenotype: Ratio= Percentage= 1SS: 2 Ss: 1ss 25% SS: 50% Ss: 25% ss

3 Generation Hypothetical Pedigree Ben Julie Damon Jane AlexChris Sarah Clark Louis CarolineMary Key: Circle- Male Square Feminine Light blue- Person is healthy but may carry recessive “bad” gene. Can be heterozygous dominate or homozygous dominate. Dark Blue- Person is affected carries homozygous recessive.
