How is the gene involved in sickle cell anemia different from the genes for pea plant traits that mendel studied?

The genes that Mendel observed affected a single characteristic in peas, however sickle cell anemia comes from pleiotropy, where a gene affects several characteristics.

Explanation:

Pleiotropy shows that the Mendelian idea that each gene affects only one trait is not always valid. For example, people with sickle cell anemia have deformed blood cells, oxygen deficit, damaged body organs and structures, however all these characteristics are affected by a single gene, a case of pleiotropy.

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited hematological (blood) disease that causes chronic destruction of red blood cells (erythrocytes, or erythrocytes) in the blood is very common in black people. To obtain a fully developed case of sickle cell anemia, a gene for the disease must be inherited from both parents.

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.
