Question

Sickle cell disease in an inherited blood disorder. It is a recessive trait. That means you can carry one recessive allele for the disease and not have the symptoms. In this case, if you were a carrier and did not have the disease, your genotype for sickle cell would be

Someone with sickle cell anemia would be ss (homozygous recessive)

Answer 2

The answer would be heterozygous.
