it affects the functions of red blood cells of humans.
it emerges in humans without the influence of dna.
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder. In this disorder, the shape of red blood cells changes (from normal disc - shaped to sickle - shaped). This change in shape affects the function of red blood cells. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen. The sickle - shaped cells can block blood vessels and reduce oxygen delivery. Transcription and translation are normal processes in the body that are not the main description of the disorder's effect. mRNA and DNA are involved in the genetic makeup (as it is a genetic disorder, DNA is involved in its inheritance and mRNA is involved in protein synthesis related to the disorder).
