MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -If mutations that produce hemoglobin S and beta thalassemia occur together, individuals have hemoglobin S-beta thalassemia (HbSBetaThal) disease. Abnormal versions of beta-globin can distort red blood cells into a sickle shape. The sickle-shaped red blood cells die prematurely, which can lead to anemia.

Detailed explanation-2: -In sickle cell anemia, some red blood cells look like sickles used to cut wheat. These unusually shaped cells give the disease its name. Sickle cell anemia is one of a group of inherited disorders known as sickle cell disease. It affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body.
