Question
In a cross between two carriers of sickle cell anemia (HbA HbS × HbA HbS), what is the probability of an offspring being a phenotypically normal carrier?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The cross yields 1/4 HbA HbA (unaffected), 1/2 HbA HbS (carrier), and 1/4 HbS HbS (sickle cell disease); thus, the carrier probability is 1/2 (50%).
