The HBB gene codes for a protein known as β-globin, and mutation in both alleles of the HBB gene causes sickle cell disease. The allele for wild-type β-globin protein is designated by βA, and that for mutant β-globin protein by βS. Determine the number of genotypes that can result from these two alleles.
