When sickle cell carrier marries a normal woman, the probability of them having a normal offspring is

A. 0.75

B. 0.25

C. 0.5

D. .1

A sickle cell carrier (AS) and a normal woman (AA), when crossed will yield:
2 normal offsprings (AA) and 2 sickle cell carrier (AS).
Hence, the probability of a normal child = \(\frac{2}{4}\)
= \(0.5\)
