Question

If anna garcia had a child with a man with sickle cell anemia, predict whether that child would also have sickle cell anemia

Answer 1

If the man has sickle cell anemia (HbSS) and Anna Garcia is completely unaffected (HbAA) then all the children will have sickle cell trait. None will have sickle cell anaemia. The parent who has sickle cell anaemia (HbSS) can only pass the sickle haemoglobin gene to each of their children..
