Answer:

The correct answer to the question: If neither you nor your spouse has either albinism or cystic fibrosis, what are the odds that your first child will have both albinism and cystic fibrosis, would be: 1 in 16.

Explanation:

The topic of genetics, and especially ineritance of traits, whether from parents, or grandparents, or anyone directly linked to your line, is a pretty complex one and it depends entirely on two factors: chromosomal dominance and recessiveness, and the probability combinations that arise from crossing these. Essentially, in this case, both you and your partner have directly inherited the genes for both albinism and CF, but these have not been dominant in you, but recessive, for both conditions. The odds of a child of yours receiving and actually displaying the traits for both albinism and CF will depend entirely on the crossing of genetical material, dominant and recessive chromosomes from both you and your partner. Even though albinism and CF are recessive traits, they can become the feature that will be displayed on your child by combination and probability. This probability in this case gives 1/16.

People born into lower castes must have been unhappy about it and feeling a lack of fairness. If they did not have a hope for a better life, they could have rebelled against the system. Further, those from the lowest spheres of the society sometimes would have nothing to loose if they rebelled. This would make it even more likely that they could rebel.
The belief that <em>if they accept the current situation </em>gave them a hope that they could actually  have a better life in the next life. This  kept people from rebelling and maintained security and stability
