Final answer:

Hensen's node forms from Koller's sickle by the formation of HbS precipitates.

Step-by-step explanation:

When hemoglobin molecules combine together in chains they form precipitates of HbS. The precip-itate formed in the RBC sinks down and the biconcave shape of RBC is converted to sickle shape.
