Note that for each gene, there is a 1/4 chance of being homozygous dominant, ½ chance of being heterozygous (carrier), and 1/4 chance of being homozygous recessive.

S1 = twin 1 has sickle cell disease

S2 = twin 2 has sickle cell disease

The probability of having sickle cell anemia = ¼ x ¼ = 1/16
