•Do You Know Your Genotype?
Let's start with "What is a genotype?".Trust me,many still confuse it with blood group.
Genotype is the genetic make up of any individual. This is all the information found inside the individuals cell.
So it means every human being has this "Genotype

"and there are 4 main types of human genotype ie:
1. Genotype AA
This genotype has the most advantage when it comes to choosing a partner, people with genotype AA can reproduce with any other genotypes without having the fear of producing offspring with the sickle cell disease

2. Genotype AS
People with this genotype are at great disadvantage when it comes to choosing a partner because they are sickle cell carriers and can only settle with genotype AA alone. This is to Avoid them to have offspring’s who will carry the sickle cell disease.

3. Genotype SS
This is the genotype found in sickle cell patients and they can only settle with individuals with the AA genotype.

4. Genotype AC
This is an uncommon type of genotype. They carry similar traits to those that have the AS genotype and can only settle with those of the AA genotype

The "SS and AC" are known as the abnormal genotype.

• How Do I Know My Genotype?

A genotype test called "Electrophoresis" is done in a medical laboratory to determine ones genotype.
"What is your genotype?" remains a valid question during first time date before investing emotions..

So i will ask you all "What is your genotype?"
Do well to stay glued to the #sicklecelldisease series.
