Answer:

The correct answer is: she won't have children with the disease because for this particular condition to appear, both parents need to have the trait and she doesn't have it.

Explanation:

Sickle Cell Disease is a condition that <u>affects the red blood cells,</u> since the hemoglobin (the protein inside the red blood cells that carry oxygen and carbon dioxide) is abnormal. This condition <u>produces anemia</u> and may lead to higher chances of bacterial infection and strokes.

Sickle Cell Disease is a genetic condition that is <u>inherited in a </u><u>recessive</u><u> way</u>: this means that for someone to have it, both parents must have the trait for the condition.
