John and jane are planning a family, but each has a brother who has sickle-cell disease, so they are concerned that their children may develop sickle-cell disease. neither john nor jane nor their respective parents have the disease. they consult a genetic counselor who tells them that

there is no chance that any of their children will have sickle-cell disease
it's possible that they cannot produce a child with sickle-cell disease, but blood tests on them both will be required to make sure
all of their children will have sickle-cell disease
one of four of their children can be expected to have sickle-cell disease

The answer would be B: It's possible that they cannot produce a child with sickle-cell disease, but blood tests on them both will be required to make sure.

If the sickle cell ran through the parents jeans then that'll be more of a problem, there can always be a possibility that it is in themselves, but since their parents didn't pass it down to them, their almost in the clear.

Hope this helps!

this disease is :

* endemic (present in a defined area that is a village)

* a bacterial infection (treated with antibiotic)

* communicable by contact (by the hands)

manu-porterage is the most common mode of transmission, it transmits germs from one individual to another via the hands. this concerns infections of exogenous origin.

endemic disease, or endemic disease, refers to a disease that is constantly present in a given population, often tied to a specific geographic origin, as opposed to a pandemic that is not a sporadic disease.

antibiotics are molecules that have the property of killing (bactericidal) or limiting the spread (bacteriostatic) of bacteria.
