The most surprising fact about sickle cell is that it affects only the black. there are other illness that are hereditary so there is nothing surprising about it being hereditary
The correct answer is:
C. *is hereditary*
Sickle cell disease is indeed a hereditary condition caused by a change in genes that are involved in producing hemoglobin. It's important to note that while sickle cell disease can lead to severe health complications and can be life-threatening, it does not necessarily kill the patient, and with proper management and treatment, many individuals with the condition can live full lives.
Additionally, it's a misconception that sickle cell disease affects only black people. While it is more prevalent among people of African descent, it can affect individuals of many races, including Hispanic-Americans, Middle Easterners, Asians, Indians, and Mediterraneans, and even, though less commonly, white people.
Sickle cell disease does affect blood cells, causing them to become hard and sticky and resemble a C-shaped farm tool called a "sickle," which can lead to various complications. It also can weaken the patient due to symptoms like severe fatigue or tiredness, but this is not the most surprising fact about the disease.
