What else can I help you with?
A child has sickle-cell disease (ss) but neither parent is ill What must be true of her parents genotypes?
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
If a child has sickle-cell disease (ss) but neither parent is ill. What must be true of he parents' genotypes?
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
A child has sickle-cell disease (ss) but neither parent is ill. What must be true of her parents and rsquo genotypes?
The parents are both recessive (Ss) for sickle cell anemia.
Can child be born with sickle cell if one parent is sickle cell carrier and another is normal?
A child has to receive the gene from both parents to heve sickle cell anemia. if only one parent passes on the gene, then the child will have sickle cell trait, but no symptoms of sickle cell anemia.
Can sickle cell be known before birth?
Yes! If both parents have the sickle cell disease, the child will have sickle cell. Otherwise, you can Google it or bing it to see other ways.
Is sickle cell passed on from mom or dad?
Sickle cell disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning a child must receive a copy of the sickle cell gene from both parents to have the disease. If both parents carry the sickle cell trait (one normal and one sickle cell gene), there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that their child will inherit the disease. Therefore, sickle cell can be passed on from either the mother or the father, or both.
What is the probability of am man and woman giving birth to a child who to is sickle cell like both of them?
If both parents are carriers of the sickle cell trait (genotype AS), there is a 25% chance that their child will inherit the sickle cell disease (genotype SS). Each parent has one normal hemoglobin allele (A) and one sickle cell allele (S), which means the possible combinations for their child are AA, AS, and SS. Therefore, the probability of the child being affected by sickle cell disease is 25%. If both parents have sickle cell disease (genotype SS), then all children will also be affected (100%).
Can a child have blue eyes when neither parents family have?
No.
How can a child have sickle cell disease when their parents do not?
Sickle Cell Anemia is an autosomal recessive trait. This means that in order for the trait to be shown, both parents of an individual must carry at least one sickle cell gene. A child with this disorder can be born to parents who do not have the disorder because the parents must have at least one gene, but do not have two and therefore do not show the trait. Since it is recessive, in order to show the trait, you must have two of the genes.
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.
Can a child get sickle cell at the age of sixteen?
Sickle cell disease is a genetic condition that a child inherits from their parents, and symptoms typically manifest in early childhood. A child cannot "get" sickle cell disease at the age of sixteen if they do not already have the genetic traits for it. However, if a person has the sickle cell trait, they may not show symptoms until later in life, but the underlying genetic condition is present from birth. Therefore, a child diagnosed with sickle cell disease at sixteen would have had it since birth, but symptoms may not have appeared until later.
Explain why a child can look like both parents but not indentical to either of the parents?
chromosomes
