Answer and Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is a disease of humans which is inherited in an incomplete dominance way. The disease is transmitted through a recessive gene that leads to the synthesis of abnormal haemoglobin. The disease treatment can be administered through gene therapy which is the replacement of faulty genes with normal ones aimed at correcting genetic disorders. Bone marrow transplant can also be done to replace the defect cells that produce sickle celled red blood cells.
