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 the sickle cell gene, and s a healthy 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 has sickle cell anemia. Second Parent First Parent Ss sS P(child has sickle cell anemia) =| (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
