I need help because I cant find out the chromosome number for Sickle Cell Anemia. I also need help because I couldnt find its Karyotype and its history.

Sami,
You can find more information on sickle cell anemia (including the information you're asking for) by following the links at the bottom of this Wikipedia article:

Sickle cell anemia is the result of two mutant copies in part of a protein called hemoglobin. This gene is on chromosome 11. For more info check out this link (and links from this page):

A karyotype is not particularly interesting as it would look like a "normal" one. Small changes in genes can not be detected by karyotype methods.
Hope this helps.
