Read the paragraph and answer the question that follows. "Sickle cell anemia is caused by having two recessive copies of a trait. Being heterozygous for this trait provides protection to malaria (which is a life threatening blood disease spread by mosquitoes) and shows no adverse effects. Being heterozygous therefore can be lifesaving in countries such as Africa, where malaria is the most common. If a person is homozygous recessive for sickle cell trait, however, they will have sickle cell anemia, where red blood cells become shaped like "sickles" (or crescent moons) and comes with a wide area of severe issues." What are the chances of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual having a child with sickle cell anemia?
