This image shows two red blood cells. The cell in front has a characteristic sickle-shape common to the autosomal recessive genetic disorder of the blood, sickle cell anaemia.  The sickling is due to a mutation in the haemoglobin gene, causing a decrease in cell flexibility and affecting the red blood cell’s oxygen transport function.
