|---|---|
| organic molecule processing both carboxyl and amino groups. Amino groups serve as the monomers of proteins. | amino acid |
| the polypeptide chain of hemoglobin that is designated alpha | alpha-globin |
| a condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells, in hemoglobin, or in total volume | anemia |
| the polypeptide chain of hemoglobin that is designated beta and when deficient or defective causes various anemias | beta-globin |
| a secondary disease or condition that develops in the course of a primary disease or condition and arises either as a result of it or from independent causes | complication |
| an iron-containing protein in rbs that reversibly binds oxygn | hemoglobin |
| the prospect of survial and recovery from a disease as anticipated from the usual course of that disease or indicated by special features of the case | prognosis |
| a 3 dimensional biological polymer constructed from a set of 20 different monomers called amino acids | protein |
| deformed rbcs that can lead to numerous symptoms and caused by a genetic mutation in the hemoglobin | sickle cell |
| subjective evidence of disease or physical disturbance observed by the patient, ie a headache = symptom of many disease | symptom |
| an inherited characteristic | trait |
| a chromosome that is not directly involved in determining sex, as opposed to a sex chromosome | autosome |
| any of the usually liner bodies in the cell nucleus that contain the genetic material | chromosome |
| capable of being transmitted from person to person, animal to animal, animmal to human, or human to animal by contacct | contagious |
| a genetic trait is considered dominant if it is expressed in a person who has only one copy of the gene associated with the trait | dominant trait |
| a discrete unit of heriditary info | gene |
| molecules responsible for heredityu and variation of organisms | genetic material |
