The document is a workbook for the SimBio Virtual Labs® Sickle-Cell Alleles laboratory, focusing on the relationship between sickle-cell anemia and malaria resistance. It explains how the HbS allele provides a survival advantage against malaria, leading to its prevalence in certain populations despite its association with sickle-cell disease. The document includes exercises that utilize simulations to explore population genetics concepts such as Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, genetic drift, and the impact of environmental factors on allele frequencies.

Whats the allele for the sickle cell trait?

Genetics. Normally, a person inherits two copies of the gene that produces beta-globin, a protein needed to produce normal hemoglobin (hemoglobin A, genotype AA). A person with sickle cell trait inherits one normal allele and one abnormal allele encoding hemoglobin S (hemoglobin genotype AS).

What is the lab work for sickle cell trait?

The usual form of hemoglobin is called hemoglobin A (HbA). Most people with sickle cell disease produce an atypical form called hemoglobin S (HbS) instead. People with HbSS have one abnormal gene from each parent that codes for HbS.
