Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Phenylketonuria is a metabolic disorder produced by mutation of a gene that results in impaired functioning of a specific enzyme, phenylalanine hydroxylase. The impairments results in the inability of the person's body to oxidize the chemical phenylalanine, which therefore accumulates in the body. If this accumulation is allowed to continue, severe mental retardation may result. A special low-protein diet can prevent most of these changes. The sooner the treatment is begun the better the chances that mental retardation will not result.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
