CAN GENOTYPE [AS] MARRY GENOTYPE [AS]


First of all, lets understanding the different genotypes that are coming together in the proposed marriage 
= HbAS (SICKLE CELL TRAIT) =
 HbAS (SICKLE CELL TRAIT) 
In Mendelian law of heredity, when the above is crossed in a monohybrid cross, what will be the results 
From the cross-match above, the possible genotype of offrings in the first filial generation will be [AA] [AS] [AS] [SS]
 PROBABILITY IN GENETICS
AA=1/4
AS=2/4, =1/2
SS=1/4

EXPLANATION= HbAA (normal Gene)= HbAS (SICKLE CELL TRAIT) 
= HbSS (Sicklers) Associated with severe crisis, accompanied by anaemia 

= HbSS (Sicklers) Associated with severe crisis, accompanied by anaemia  So, I recommend that this love birds should not be joined together in holy matrimony. Dont let love deceive you.
