A person with a genotype of HbSS has sickle cell disease. A person with a genotype of HbAS allele carries the sickle cell trait. A person with a genotype of HbAA does not have sickle cell disease and does not carry the trait. The Punnett square shows the genotype of two people carrying the sickle cell trait.

What are the chances that their offspring will have sickle cell anemia?
0%
25%
50%
100%

Respuesta :

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

In order to have sickle cell anemia, a person needs two S alleles.  If there is even just one A allele, the person is a carrier but will not actually have it themselves.  The punnett square shows that out of 4 offspring, 1 will have the SS genotype (Statistically).  1/4 is 25%.

      A     S

A   AA   AS

S    AS   SS

Answer:

The answer is 25

Explanation:

If you have correctly done the work then you will have 25% normal 50% carrier and 25% sickle cell disease
