Heterozygous individuals of sickle cell anaemia are severely affected by the disease.(a) False(b) TrueI have been asked this question during an interview for a job.My question comes from Inheritance and Variation Principles in chapter Principles of Inheritance and Variation of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (a) False

The best I can explain: No, heterozygous individuals of SICKLE cell anaemia are not severely AFFECTED by the DISEASE. Apparently, they appear to be unaffected by the disease. But, there is a 50% PROBABILITY of transmission of the mutant gene to the progeny.
