Answer:

The genes that the child inherited from the parents is the SS gene

Explanation:

The genetic composition of the haemoglobin genotype is given by two gene variants; A which is dominant and S which is recessive. As such, an individual can be AA, AS or SS. Individuals that are AA and AS do not show traits of the disease, but SS individuals have sickle cell anaemia.

From this example, since both parents have no symptoms and their child have sickle cell, their genotypes most likely were AS and AS. Let me show you how:

           A              S

A        AA            AS

S       AS              SS

From the cross above, there is a 1 in 4 chance that if both parents were AS, their child will be SS. Any other composition from the parents will not produce an SS offspring. Hence the genes that the child inherited from the parents is the SS gene.

Triss [41]

Among the tasks in coping with life-threatening illness described by Kenneth Doka, the chronic phase is characterized by "living with the disease".

Kenneth Doka (1995–96) divides the process of dying into three phases, namely the acute, the chronic, and the terminal phases of dying, during which the individual initially is given the diagnosis, then lives with the disease and ultimately surrenders to death.

This phase can be quite long and the supporters may become comfortable in their caregiving role and adjust to the notion of death. This is an important adaptation since a great deal of the care for the terminally ill is given by the family members.

Doka (1998) notes that this phase "is often a period of continued stress, punctuated by points of crisis".
