Some people have one sickle cell gene and one normal gene. They have few defective cells and no symptoms because the sickle cell
gene is recessive. How does the human system of reproduction result in people getting one copy of a sickle cell gene and one copy of a normal gene? Describe the process.
Explanation:During fertilization the embryo receives half of its genetic information from both parents. If one parent is a carrier or sickle cell their genes would be Aa little a being the recessive gene. When mixed with the other parents gene who does not have sickle cell their genes would be AA. When you make a pun net square the results would be AA,AA,Aa,and Aa. Therefore the offspring would have a 50% chance of being a carrier of sickle cell but not having the actual disease
