Question

Answer 1

A carrier has an increased chance tohave a child with sickle cell disease. This type of inheritance is called "autosomal recessive." "Autosomal" means that the gene is on one of the first 22 pairs of chromosomes that do not determine gender, so that malesand females are equally affected by the disease.
