Question

Predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring produced from two

people who are carriers of the allele for Sickle cell anemia (Ss).

Answer 1

If you were to draw a punnet square of two individuals with the genotypes Ss, there would be 1 box with ss, 2 boxes with Ss, and 1 box with SS.

The possible genotypes are SS, Ss, and ss.

The possible phenotypes are sufferers of sickle cell (ss) and non-sufferers (Ss and SS)
