When sickle cell carrier marries a normal woman, the probability of them having a normal offspring is
0.75
0.25
0.5
.1

Explanation

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 = \(\frac{2}{4}\)

= \(0.5\)
