If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Sickle cell anaemia is an autosomal hereditary disorder in which the erythrocytes become sickle shaped. The disorder or disease is caused by the formation of an abnormal haemoglobin called haemoglobin-s denoted as Hbs. Thus, the genotype of an individual homozygous for sickle cell anaemia is written as Hbs Hbs.
