CAN GENOTYPE AS MARRY GENOTYPE AC?


First of all, lets understanding the different genotypes that are coming together in the proposed marriage
= HbAS (SICKLE CELL TRAIT
= HbAC (not common but having similar condition with Genotype AS)

In Mendelian law of heredity, when the above is crossed in a monohybrid cross, what will be the results
From the cross above, the possible genotype of offrings in the first filial generation will be [AA] [AC] [AS] [SC]
EXPLANATION
= HbAA (normal Gene)
= HbAS (SICKLE CELL TRAIT) 
= HbAC (not common but having similar condition with Genotype AS)
=HbSC: A variant of HbSS that causes symptoms similar to those of HbSS but less severe.
HbSC is a variant of HbSS with similar conditions. So, I recommend that this love birds should not be joined together in holy matrimony. Dont let love deceive you.
