Summary Introduction
To determine:
The probability of the offspring of Karen and Steveto have sickle cell anemia, if both of them have siblings who had sickle cell anemia.
Introduction:
Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which the red blood corpuscles are sickle shaped or crescent shapedrather than round with a grove in the middle. This is caused due to a mutation in one of the base pairs and it is a hereditary disease. It causes the loss in binding of oxygen molecule to red blood cells.
