Solution
The correct option is A Delayed lethality
Sickle cell
anaemia is an autosomal disorder. It is
the most common genetical disorder appear in Africans. It is due to the homozygous
condition of the gene HbS HbS. The disease is due to the
substitution of sixth codon in gene coding for the b-chain of Haemoglobin. Due to this,
sixth amino acid in b-chain of Haemoglobin Glutamic acid
is replaced by valine. The main symptom of this disorder is decrease of oxygen
uptake.
So,
the correct option is ‘Delayed lethality’
