If two people with sickle cell trait have children, what is thechance that a child will have normal RBCs in both high-and low-oxygen environments? What is the chance that a child will have sickle cell disease? Write the possible genotypes in the Punnettsquare.

See the answer below

Explanation:

The chance that a child from two people with sickle cell trait will have normal RBCs remains the same irrespective of the amount of oxygen in the environment. From the cross:

                  AS    x    AS

            AA    AS    AS    SS

Hence, the chance of having a child with normal RBCs in both high and low-oxygen environments is 1/4 or 25%.

The chance that a child will have sickle cell disease is also 1/4   or 25%.

enhanced global partnerships and exploration capabilities may advance international preparedness for protecting the earth from catastrophic events such as some asteroid strikes, advancing collaborative research on space weather and protecting spacecraft by developing new means for space debris removal.
