Chapter 18, Problem 40CI
Thalassemia is an inherited genetic mutation that limits the production of the beta Chain needed for the formation of hemoglobin. If low levels of the beta chain are produced, There is shortage of red blood cells (anemia); as a result, the body does not have sufficient Amounts of oxygen. In one form of thalassemia,a single
