Cells that have the sickle cell anemia involve a switch between glutamic acid and valine.
The valine is used instead of glutamic acid in the production of hemoglobin. This will make it less water-soluble, and as a result, more crystallized. Because of that, sickle-shaped cells form.
I know this because we just covered it in Bio AP.

If you just figured out what sin-lent mutation, mis-sense mutation and nonsense mutation are, the answer is simple
