Answer:

The sickle cell gene is recessive to the normal gene

Please find the description below

Explanation:

Sickle cell is a blood disease inherited genetically from one's parents. The sickle cell is associated with the blood genotype of an individual. The allele for sickle cell trait is S, while that of the normal gene is A. In this gene, the allele for normal gene (A) is dominant over the allele for sickle cell (S).

Hence, people that have one sickle cell gene (S) and one normal gene (A) will have an AS genotype. The individual will have few defective cells and no symptoms because the phenotypic expression of the sickle cell allele has been masked by the normal one.
