Question

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is recessive disorder with codominant features. Inheriting the mutant gene causes an abnormality in the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin found in red blood cells. The disorder is common to people of African ancestry. This leads to a rigid, sickle-like shape under certain circumstances. A number of health problems may develop, such as attacks of pain ("sickle cell crisis"), anemia, swelling in the hands and feet, bacterial infections and stroke. Long-term pain may develop as people get older. Many advances in the developed world have extended the life expectancy of persons with the disorder. Persons who are heterozygous for sickle cell anemia (SS') are said to have the sickle cell trait. Alleles S and S' are codominant. What are the chances that Sam and his wife Ethyl, who both have sickle cell trait, will have a child with sickle cell anemia (genotype S'S')? (numerical answer).Now record this answer at question 10 on the worksheet.
