In sickle cell anaemia, the mutant haemoglobin molecule undergoes:

1. Polymerisation under low oxygen tension causing changes in the shape of the RBC to a sickle-like structure
2. Depolymerisation under low oxygen tension causing that changes the shape of the RBC to a sickle-like structure
3. Denaturation under high oxygen tension causing changes in the shape of the RBC to a sickle-like structure
4. Denaturation
