In the genetic pedigree person U and her husband are considering having another child What is the percent chance that this child will develop sickle cell disease?

If both U and her husband are carriers of the sickle cell trait, there is a 25% chance that their child will develop sickle cell disease. This is because there is a 50% chance the child will inherit one sickle cell gene from each parent, resulting in the disease.


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%).


What groups get sickle cell disease?

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 gene has sickle-cell trait, a milder problem. If both father and mother pass on sickle-cell genes, the child, with two genes, will have sickle-cell disease.


What are the chances of a person having a sickle cell disease passing the disease to their offspring?

If one represents a sickle cell gene thus "C" and a normal gene thus "O" then both parents are: Mum CO Dad CO The possibilities for their children are therefore CC OO CO CO in those proportion so 1in 4 will have sickle cell anaemia, 2 in 4 will be carriers (like their parents) and 1/4 will be normal.


what if the father has sickle trait, does that mean the baby will have it?
