I know that Sarada possesses Sharingan, but since her mother isn't an Uchiha,
was there any chance that she may not have inherited Sharingan?

Are the chances of a child inheriting Sharingan smaller if one of the parents isn't an Uchiha?


I think the question you ask is kind of misleading. You want to know what the
chances are that a kid born to non-Uchiha parents (both) can awaken the
Sharingan. The answer to that is NO. Sharingan is a blood-line limit found in
the Uchiha clan. If two non-Uchiha individuals married and had children, then
the children won't be able to awaken the Sharingan.

In the case of Sasuke-Sakura, Sasuke is an Uchiha and Sakura is not. However,
Sarada has the Uchiha gene in her DNA. Therefore Sarada is able to awaken her
Sharingan

Now to answer your EXACT question about a child inheriting the Sharingan from
two non-Uchiha parents is damn near impossible. But if the child were to get
an eye from an Uchiha member by transplant, it would then be possible if the
child were able to control chakra perfectly and redirect maximum chakra to the
eye. Having said that, it is a known fact that the Sharingan drains the chakra
reserves considerably. So even if the child inherited the Sharingan he
wouldn't be able to use it like an Uchiha.

Inheriting, yes. As this a bloodline limit, it is possible that the daughter
of an Uchiha marries into another clan, and her child receives the gene.

There is a problem though regarding the way Kishimoto-san has built the world
of Naruto, the said problem being the fact that the Kekkei Genkai don't seem
to have any regard for Mendelian rules of genetics. As far as I know there are
no known members of the Uchiha clan that don't possess the Sharingan(and by
that I mean shinobi belonging to the Uchiha clan that have been explicitly
stated that they don't possess the ability), so I suppose we can assume that
every Shinobi with a parent belonging to the Uchiha clan possess the ability
to awaken the Sharingan.  
TL;DR: As far as we know so far there hasn't been any member of the Uchiha
clan without a Sharingan, so I think it is safe to assume that Sarada having
the Sharingan is pretty much guaranteed as long as one of the parents is an
Uchiha.

I believe it is presumed that the Uchiha clan before their destruction bred
from within, considering their seclusion and secrecy of affairs, in order to
diminish the muddling of bloodlines and ensure generations that are able to
possess the power. If you recall the early episodes of Boruto, there was a
slight hint to the idea thay Sarada may not be able to unlock Sharingan, since
she was so far ahead of her classmates and caught on to everything else at an
early age. Two factors added to this fear: the first obvious, and the second
relates to a village in peace does not create enough pain or passion to unlock
the Sharingan (a harsh stipulation for such a strong power). Sarada felt
outcast to her father for not gaining his abilities only to learn it was a
lack of hardship that hindered her. I believe the relationship between Sakura
and Saske represents overcoming the fear of losing powers due to diluting them
with other bloodlines, and proves that mixing blood(and thus abilities) allows
for a stronger offspring, possesing abilities from both families. So yes,
there was an ancient fear she would not posses the Uchiha power stemming from
a recluse family heritage but it was disproven.
