In sickle cell anaemia, the mutant haemoglobin molecule undergoes

(1) Polymerisation under low oxygen tension causing that changes the shape of the RBC to sickle like structure

(2) Depolymerisation under low oxygen tension causing that changes the shape of the RBC to sickle like structure

(3) Denaturation under high oxygen tension causing that changes the shape of the RBC to sickle like structure

(4) Denaturation
