If a man with sicklecell trait will all his children carry the trait?

No! 1/2 will.: No. If the other mate has no sickle cell or trait, then 1/2 of the off springs will continue with the trait.

50% will have trait: Assuming his partner does not have sickle cell disease or trait, the father with sickle cell trait has a 50% chance of passing on sickle trait to his offspring.

No choice: Statistically ,half the offspring would be expected to get the trait and half not.However, every time you conceive, you flip a coin and get what you get.Every kid might get trait, every kid might be normal, or some of either.
