Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia are caused due to a problem in globin molecule synthesis. Select the correct statement :
Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia are caused due to a problem in globin molecule synthesis. Select the correct statement :
Updated On: Jul 20, 2024
- Both are due to a quantitative defect in globin chain synthesis
- Thalassemia is due to less synthesis of globin molecules
- Sickel cell anemia is due to a quantitative problem of globin molecules
- Both are due to a qualitive defect in globin chain synthesis
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Thalassemia differs from sickle-cell anaemia in that
the former is a quantitative problem of synthesising too few globin molecules while the latter is a qualitative problem of synthesising an incorrectly functioning globin.
the former is a quantitative problem of synthesising too few globin molecules while the latter is a qualitative problem of synthesising an incorrectly functioning globin.
