Step 1: Define alleles and parental genotypes for question 2.c.
Let 'S' represent the allele for normal hemoglobin and 's' for sickle cell. We will consider three distinct phenotypes: SS (Normal), Ss (Sickle cell trait), and ss (Sickle cell anemia).
Let 'B' represent the allele for baldness (dominant) and 'b' for non-baldness (recessive).

The first parent is heterozygous for both sickle cell and baldness, so their genotype is SsBb\text{SsBb}.
The second parent "does not have the trait for both sickle cell and baldness."

  • "Does not have the trait for sickle cell" implies they are homozygous normal for hemoglobin, SS\text{SS}.
  • "
