A person can only inherit sickle-cell genes if some of their ancestors came from certain regions in Africa where the inhabitants carry sickle-cell genes.

A person with one sickle cell is a "carrier". This means that they have the dormant cell in their genetic composition, and if combined with another with the "carrier" gene, they run the high risk on concieving a child with the blood disease-one who has two sickle cells. A person with two sickle cells, has the sickle cell disease and are carriers(The gene is not dormant but active). Hope this simplifies and explains it for you.
