To answer the question regarding the genotypes of individuals related to sickle cell anemia, we can break it down into two parts: ### Step 1: Identify the genotype of a carrier of sickle cell anemia who is apparently unaffected. - Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. This means that an individual must have two copies of the sickle cell allele (HbS) to express the disease. - A carrier of sickle cell anemia has one normal allele (HbA) and one sickle cell allele (HbS). This genotype is heterozygous. - Therefore, the genotype of an individual who is a carrier but unaffected is **HbA HbS**. ### Step 2: Identify the genotype of an individual affected with sickle cell anemia. ...
