Sickle cell anemia is a genetic condition that occurs because of a single point mutation in the DNA gene for hemoglobin. How is this mutation expressed in humans?

Using the example of sickle-cell anemia, explain how a change in the genotype of an individual affects the individual's phenotype. Note that the question is not asking about survival value, evolutionary fitness of similar concepts.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder in which the hemoglobin responsible for transporting oxygen is misformed. The disease begins with a mutation in a nucleic acid, which results in a structural difference in a protein.
