Step 1

Hemoglobin is referred to as the protein present in the blood cells known as red blood cells. This protein is principally responsible for carrying oxygen and helps in the transportation to all the body cells and tissues. The deficiency of hemoglobin can cause harder oxygen transportation and it may result in an irregular heartbeat in extreme cases heart failure can also occur. Thalassemia and Sickle Cell anemia are genetic diseases that occur when there is a change in the genome of an organism.
