Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -To be born with the main type of thalassaemia, beta thalassaemia, a child has to inherit a copy of the faulty beta thalassaemia gene from both of their parents. This usually happens when both parents are “carriers” of the faulty gene, also known as having the “thalassaemia trait".
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: If both parents are carriers of thalassemia, which is an autosomal recessive disorder, there is a 25% chance of a pregnancy resulting in an affected child.
