In an individual that is heterozygous for the sickle-cell trait, he or she will show some symptoms of the disease (Option d). it is a codominant disease.

What is the sickle cell trait?

Sickle cell is a disease where red blood cells are deformed and therefore lost a regular circular shape.

Sickle cell is a genetic disease caused by mutations that can be transmitted across generations.

Sickle cell disease is a codominant condition which means that both alleles (both normal and defective) are expressed in heterozygous individuals.
