Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Sickle cell anemia is autosomal recessive, while Huntington's disease is autosomal dominant.


Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease, while Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disease. In sickle cell anemia, the recessive gene causes red blood cells to take on a sickle shape, leading to health issues. On the other hand, Huntington's disease is caused by a dominant gene that can lead to late-onset symptoms.
