Respuesta :

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!
