Answer to Question 1

In adults, iodine deficiency results in goiter, an enlarged thyroid gland. In developing children, iodine deficiency early in fetal stages can damage the brain, resulting in mental retardation and (if severe enough) cretinism, which is characterized by mental retardation, abnormal sexual development, and dwarfism. The addition of iodine to salt has reduced the incidence of these medical problems.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
