Explanation:

"Sickle Cell Disease" is a blood disorder that is mostly inherited. An example of this is the "Sickle Cell Anemia," which means the body of the person is lacking in red blood cells. In order for an infant to carry such disease, both of his parents must pass the defective gene to him. It is a potentially lethal or deadly disease because if not given remedy, it may lead to several complications such as organ damage, leg ulcers, blindness, etc.

It is not infectious, which means that a person with a Sickle Cell Disease cannot transfer it to another person. It is not likely to spread as well.
