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 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.

A women gives birth too a son.Two years later she gives birth to another son.What is the probability that her third child will be a girl?

There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.However, if you assume that they are independent events then, the probability that the third child is a girl is the same as the probability that any birth is a girl - which is 0.48 across the world.
