The disease sick cell anemia is an example of what can happen if .red blood cells bind too much oxygen .hemolysis is prevented by a bad gene .there is insufficient heme in the hemoglobin .a gene for adult hemoglobin is abnormal . the diet is deficient in iron
a gene for adult hemoglobin is abnormal
why can't a person with type A blood safely receive blood from a person with type B blood
a person with type A blood will have anti B antibodies that will agglutinate with type B blood
