In the HHMI Biointeractive video, Davaun and Skyy Cooper are brother and sister who have sickle cell anemia, an inherited human disorder. Davaun and Skyy's parents, however, are healthy and do not have sickle cell anemia. Imagine that you are a genetic counselor, nurse, physician, or a healthcare professional. Explain to the Cooper parents how it is possible that they are healthy while Davaun and Skyy are sick, using the following terms: allele, DNA, dominant, gene, heterozygous, homozygous, mutation, protein, and recessive. (You can also include additional terms.)

The disorder which exists caused due to a mutation in one gene. Examples, Sickle cell Anemia, cystic fibrosis, Color blindness, and Muscular Dystrophy.

Mendelian Disorders can be described as a kind of genetic disorder that arises due to alterations in one gene or as a result of abnormalities in the genome.

Sickle cell anemia exists can be caused due to mutations or by the inheritance of genes. It affects the RBC of the person's body in which the shape of the RBC change from spherical to sickle shape, which affects the oxygen-carrying ability of the RBC.

For example, if the mother is the carrier and the father is diseased. The mother is heterozygous dominant but the father is Homozygous recessive, so there will be a 50% chance of the Progeny will be diseased and 50% will be a carrier.
