Sickle-cell disease is an inherited chronic blood disease caused by an autosomal recessive allele. Suppose a man with sickle-cell disease fathers a child by a woman who is a carrier for sickle-cell disease. What are the chances their children will exhibit the disease?
a. 0 percent
b. 25 percent
c. 50 percent
d. 75 percent

a, b, c - sides of a triangle

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

we have a = 5m and b = 11m. substitute:

5 + 11 > c

16 > c → c < 16

5 + c > 11         subtract 5 from both sides

c > 6

11 + c > 5         subtract 11 from both sides

c > -6

c < 16 and c > 6 and c > -6

thereofre your answer is 6m < c < 16m

d would be your answer
