pogonyaev

Answer: B - People with two copies of the mutated gene have sickle-cell anemia. People with one copy of the mutated gene have both healthy and misshapen red blood cells and are carriers of the disease.

That's why the person in this example has both misshapen and healthy red blood cells.
