Of coare yes. You can get any hemoglobinopathy from a parent without any connection to other hemoglobinopathy (or any other hereditary disease) from the other parent.

have seen one of my friends sister had kid and all normal no complications...not thalassemia either.........beta and alpha i think there is 25% normal chance
Yes, A "carrier" of alpha thalassemia and of beta thalassemia can marry, but not to someone with any hemoglobinopathy. Prof. Kornfeld Pal
Thalassemia is classified mainly into two types: alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia, based on which globin chain is affected. Alpha thalassemia occurs due to mutations in the alpha-globin genes, while beta thalassemia results from mutations in the beta-globin genes. Each type can further be categorized into various subtypes based on the severity of the condition, such as thalassemia minor (trait) and thalassemia major (Cooley's anemia). The classification helps determine the appropriate management and treatment strategies for affected individuals.

No, thalassemia is not a sex-linked genetic disorder; it is an autosomal recessive condition. This means that it is caused by mutations in genes located on non-sex chromosomes, specifically the alpha or beta globin genes. Both males and females can be carriers and affected by thalassemia equally, regardless of their sex.
Thalassemia is carried on chromosome 11 and chromosome 16, depending on the type. The alpha-thalassemia gene is located on chromosome 16, while the beta-thalassemia gene is found on chromosome 11. Mutations in these genes affect the production of hemoglobin, leading to the various forms of thalassemia.
If you have beta thalassemia trait and your partner has sickle cell trait there is a 25% chance of your child having sickle beta thalassemia.
Symptoms of beta thalassemia major or Cooley's anemia don't appear at birth because babies still have what is known as the fetal hemoglobin, which consists of two alpha chains and two delta chains, but the baby has no beta chains and therefore protected from the disorder. The baby will eventually develop the beta chains though.
No. A minor form of the blood disorder thalassemia is when you inherited just one beta thalassemia gene, along with a normal beta-chain gene. This manifests as mild anaemia with a slight lowering of the hemoglobin level in the blood. No treatment is require. By contrast, a thalassemia major, also known as Cooley's Disease, is when one is born with two genes for beta thalassemia and no normal beta-chain gene. This is a serious disorder.
I know they can be found on beta and beta multi-player but I'm not sure if they are in alpha. Yes, they are in both to be sure get both alpha and beta although i would recommend beta cause it has wolves also alpha has been known to spawn SO MANY SLIMES its insane thats actually why i switche to beta
Beta thalassemia variant
yes
