| Oct 10, 2019 at 16:50 | comment | added | David | Welcome to SE Biology. I am not sure that I understand what you say or that it is correct. What do you mean by the "trait is due to be heterozygous"? The heterozygotes are carriers and do not suffer sickling. Only the red cells of homozygotes sickle. Likewise your statement about only half the blood cells sickling. Presumably that is just statistical chance as the oxygen concentration decreases and nothing to do with expression. Could you please clarify and support your statements with links to references. Then we may be able to help sort it out for you. | |
