α-thalassemia is another blood disorder in which abnormal hemoglobin molecules are formed, leading to anemia. One mutant allele known to cause α-thalassemia occurs in α-hemoglobin and is called Constant Spring.  Normal α-hemoglobin is 141 amino acids long, while the Constant Spring protein is 172 amino acids long.  Include answers to both A and B in your response.

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
