Answer to Question 2

Recessive disorders: Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive disorder, since both parents must contribute a recessive allele for the disorder in order for the offspring to display the problem. In this disorder, the red blood cells become sickle-shaped which allows less oxygen to be carried in the body. This may impair cognitive abilities. Tay-Sachs disease is another recessive disorder, again, since both parents must contribute a recessive allele for the disease. It causes the central nervous system to degenerate with a loss in sensory abilities, mental ability, and then death by around age 5.
