If the father has sickle cell trait and the mother doesnt will their children have sickle cell trait?

No. The trait that causes sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait, which means that if both parents have the trait, there is a 1/4 chance their child will have it. The child can be a carrier however and not display symptoms, but there is no way for a child to get sickle cell from parents that don't have the gene.

∙ 11y agoIf you're saying the parents are carriers of the gene, but don't have the disease
2/4 chance of the child being a carrier
1/4 chance of the child having the disease
1/4 chance of the child not having the disease
However, if both parents have the disease, this means they both have the two genes of the disease. This means the child WILL have the disease.
x = has gene
o = does not have gene

x:x x:x
So this means, there is only a chance of x to x, which means the child will have the disease.

If you mother and father are both sickle cell carriers what are the chances that you will not have the trait?
It is impossible to predict what will happen with one person! In a population of 2,000 people, 1,000 women have sickle cell trait and 1,000 men do not. They marry. Each couple has 2 children. 1,000 children will have sickle cell trait and 1,000 children will not. In a population of 2,000 people, 1,000 women have sickle cell trait and 1,000 men have sickle cell trait. They marry. Each couple has 2 children. 1,000 children will have sickle cell trait, 500 children will not, and 500 children will have sickle cell anemia. No one knows which of those parents will produce which children. No one knows how to predict how your children will turn out.

What would happen to a baby in the womb if the mother has sickle cell disease and the father has the sickle cell trait?
If both parents are trait carriers the chances of them having a child WITH sickle cell is 4 to 1. Probability says, 1 will not carry the trait OR have sickle cell, 2 will be trait carriers and 1 will have it. But Keep in mind that every time you have a child its like rolling dice. I have heard of people where all four kids have the disease. and i have 2 children with the disease and 1 that's normal.
