Save Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which red blood cells become distorted and deprived of oxygen. A person with two sickle cell genes will have the disease, but a person with only one sickle cell gene will have a mild, non-fatal anemia called sickle cell trait. Using S to represent a healthy gene, and s the sickle cell gene, the table shows the four possibilities for the children of two Ss parents. Find the probability that these parents give birth to a child who is healthy. That is, the child does not have the disease or trait. First Parent SS Second Parent S S SS Ss SS SS P(child is healthy)= (Simplify your answer.)
