Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sickling of red blood cells in someone with sickle-cell anemia is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the hemoglobin molecule. Travel at high altitude and vigorous exercise can lead to sickling due to decreased oxygen availability and dehydration, respectively. Malaria can also cause sickling by triggering inflammation and increased demand for oxygen in affected tissues. However, sleeping in a well-ventilated room would not cause sickling as there are no factors that affect oxygen availability or cause dehydration present.
