Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease that affects the shape of red blood cells. It is a recessive trait that requires a homozygous recessive genetic arrangement in order to be expressed. If two parents with sickle cell anemia have a child, what are the odds that their offspring will inherit the disease?
