In the human disorder Sickle Cell Anemia, and individual homozygous (SS) for the trait will only produce red blood cells that are irregular in shape and unable to carry oxygen. An individual who is heterozygous (Ss) for the trait (also called a carrier) will produce some irregularly shaped cells, but will produce enough normal red blood cells to function normally. Cross two carriers of Sickle Cell Anemia.

PEDIGREE ANALYSIS

Draw your own family pedigree. Include both sets of gradparents and all of your aunts, uncles and their kids. Assume that your Maternal grandfather (your moms dad…) has a recessive sex linked trait that makes him unable to say the word Aardvark. Follow the trait through your whole family by writing the genotype for each individual. Shade the shapes of all individuals who MIGHT NOT be able to say Aardvark.
