The difference between the Sickle Cell Trait and Sickle Cell Anemia is the amount genotypes of the disease the person has. If the person has 1 of 2 genotypes infected, then they have the sickle cell trait. If they have both genotypes infected, they have Sickle Cell Anemia.

How many infected genotypes does it take to give a person sickle cell anemia?
